Study finds when women bosses were more assertive, thus deviating from gender norms, they felt depleted, incompetent, anxious, overwhelmed & more withdrawn. But men didn't experience stress over gender expectations, whether they were kind or stern. news.uga.edu/women-constr...

Every clinician benefits from the right mentor. The new ASH Malignant Hematology Mentorship Program is now open for applications—offering fellows a chance to build lasting connections, receive career guidance, and grow within malignant hematology. 🔗 https://bit.ly/3IPWjMA

Application for 2025/2026 RNA Salons is now open. Please apply by 31st August to receive support your local or regional RNA activities. @rnasociety.bsky.social #Lexogen www.rnasociety.org/salons

Every cancer research breakthrough leads to stories. Stories of strength. Stories of hope. Congress needs to understand that cancer research funding isn’t just about numbers or budgets—it’s about people. If you’ve been impacted by cancer, share your story to help show #CancerResearch saves lives.

Submitted a lot of grants with none getting accepted, 😕 but I was able to submit our paper, had an amazing lab meeting, and got to isolate #RNA today...so my ❤️ and 🧠 are 😁. #resilience #SilvaFisherlab #science

Summer breaks with family are amazing. 🤩 Visited Thierbach Orchards & Berry Farm for some #peach picking 🍑🍑🍑

Always a blessing to bring my family in for a tour of my #research lab. Brought my mom in for the 1st time! She is a #cervicalcancer survivor and the strongest person I know. 💕💪#cancer #SilvaFisherlab

"It is critically important that we raise our voices in support of innovative cancer science and medicine." AACR President Patricia M. LoRusso, DO, PhD (hc), FAACR, calls on the #AACR25 delegates to stand together and call on Congress to make cancer research a national priority.

AACR President-Elect Lillian Siu kicked off the AACR Foundation #Runners4Research 5K at #AACR25. More than 850 AACR members and local runners joined together to raise funds to support innovative cancer research.

Had a great time at the CEB-2025 Conference presenting our recent work on Long non-coding RNAs in #multiplemyeloma www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Met amazing scientists and created new exciting collaborations! @sitemancenter.bsky.social @washumedicine.bsky.social #SilvaFisherlab

Today is #InternationalWomensDay Progress on #GenderEquality in health care is too slow. Women have distinct & changing health needs at different stages of their lives. Health care should be easy to access, fair & tailored to meet each woman’s unique needs & circumstances. 🔗 bit.ly/3DmZQ2o
