Today is #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience. Through grants, education and training, and our Women in Cancer Research constituency group, the AACR is committed to inspiring and advancing #WomenInScience. buff.ly/OXy6wnS

Transcriptional plasticity is a major barrier to effective cancer treatment. We know a lot about it in #SCLC but less is known for #squamous #lungcancer. Luke Izzo & Tony Reyes have made major inroads into this problem in our latest preprint: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40161723/

Our department is hiring!!! If you have research interests in cancer-focused bioinformatics and computational biology, apply to join us in the Department of Cancer & Cellular Biology at Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine👇

Super pleased to announce our latest suggesting the cell of origin for #SCLC is most likely the basal cell @nature.com, not the accepted neuroendocrine cell. Implications for the earliest events in cancer, & providing new models of tuft-like cancer. rdcu.be/eGUtj

Excited about my first PhD Poster Presentation at Dawn Marks Research Day 2025! Shared research on mitochondrial metabolism in squamous cancers. Big thanks to everyone for their insights and to my mentor @ptorresayuso.bsky.social. Looking forward to more learning and networking! #KatzTempleMed

I am so lucky to count with the amazing #oneandonly @rolanddunbrack.bsky.social as my colleague and thrilled to count him as my dear friend!!! #congratulations!!!

Hi greater Philly area folks, here's the link to the local site for this action. It will be 3/7 at 11am at City Hall. An important opportunity to make it clear that science in the US as we know it is in danger! Science is for everyone and benefits everyone. standupforscience2025.org/philadelphia...

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

The Stand Up For Science website has been updated. Find your local protest site! March 7! Get out there! standupforscience2025.org

President Trump's NIH cuts will damage our health, our research, and our global leadership. Thanks to my 149 House Democratic colleagues who joined @amo.house.gov, @degette.house.gov, @replindasanchez.bsky.social, and me in making the case to rescind harmful NIH cuts.

🧬 Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🧬 Today we celebrate metastasis research leaders: 🔬 Dr. Alana Welm @alanawelm.bsky.social, MRS President. 🔬 Dr. Neta Erez @netaerez.bsky.social, incoming President. Inspiring the future! 💪✨ #WomenInScience #IDWGS #MetastasisResearch

Kudos to the @theaacr.bsky.social for making it easy to reach out to your representatives. Nice to see courage and action. nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

The AACR is deeply concerned that the Administration’s recent actions are threatening NIH and its mission to accelerate progress for patients with cancer and other diseases that afflict millions of Americans. Read our statement: https://buff.ly/4gRXNB8

AACR urges Congress to reaffirm its long history of steadfast and bipartisan support for medical research by ensuring that NIH has all of the resources needed to advance its lifesaving mission to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer and other diseases: AACR.org/NIH

This week we had International Day of Women and Girls in Science 👩‍🔬 🥼 🔬 There are many women working to provided the resources at PDBe, AlphaFoldDB, EMDB and EMPIAR. Lets met a few of them! #IDWGS #WomeninSTEM #WomenInScience #WhatAScientistLooksLike

My lab is looking for an enthusiastic postdoc interested in studying lysosomal signaling dynamics in cardiac health and disease. Those especially interested in development & use of targeted biosensors and dynamic super-resolution imaging are encouraged to apply. www.nature.com/naturecareer...

Breaking news: 22 states are suing to block NIH’s cutting of indirect costs. See our updated story on the Friday night news and its aftermath. scim.ag/4hTJQ6v

My #Yale colleague Harlan Krumholz explains why the cuts to indirect costs are a disaster for biomedical research in the United States. Want to do something about it? I'll list those who have to hear from us below. Share, recruit friends and family to help. 1/ www.statnews.com/2025/02/08/n....

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

I wrote this just two weeks ago - could not have imagined how broadly #science and #researchers in the US have been impacted since then 

Science is a #global community 🌍 🌎 🌏 We're all very concerned for our friends, colleagues, and young researchers in the US right now

Here's what I've heard so far from inside the National Cancer Institute as well as other NIH institutes.

'Most Americans probably don’t know this, but so much of what we take for granted when we seek care in the US—the medicines, the diagnostics, the procedures—have come out of NIH research.' @gregggonsalves.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/soci...
