Researchers say they have used a precise genome-editing technique called base editing to alter the genome of human embryos for the first time, an announcement that prompted both excitement and dismay. go.nature.com/3RUBKD6

Welp, this is a goddamn nightmare.

An important read. When you starve federal funding, next gen treatments are out of reach. Philanthropy won't replace an entire 80 yr old infrastructure. Only certain discoveries get press coverage. But the work leading up to them was quietly decades in the making. 🧪 www.ms.now/opinion/canc...

I know many here will hate me for it, but BlueSky is so somnolent that I had to go back on evil Twitter to show my support for @iwashyna.bsky.social Nobel Prize for the People of Minneapolis!! #Truth2Power x.com/kaminskimed/...

Make your voices heard! The proposed OMB rule negates peer review for approval of grant applications. The political appointee will have the power to randomly override peer review. The last thing we need is the fear of grants getting terminated based on whim. Russ Vought is all over this.🧪

Fascinating from a physics (and physics teaching) point of view. And terrifying when you consider the surveillance possibilities. #ChatPhysics

Urgent! 🧪🧠

Day FOUR of #ESTRO26 Coverage by OncoAlert 🚨 UK National Breast Radiotherapy Audit: Real-World Heart and Lung Doses from 30,000 NHS Treatment Plans Presented by Imogen Locke 🇬🇧 #RadOnc ☢️ #BreastCancer @estroradiotherapy.bsky.social

It's the workplace--not the mothers--that needs to be fixed. One company has core hours of 9:30am-3pm in an employee’s time zone for everyone to be reachable and meetings to be scheduled. Outside these hours, employees structure their time around real life. www.fastcompany.com/91541720/cor...

The CSS here is impressive. #radonc #bcsm #cansky

The authors of a new Perspective argue that clinicians are rightly expected to disclose their gaps in knowledge or their inability to forecast an outcome. Yet emerging AI tools often cannot, or will not, do the same. Read the Perspective: https://nej.md/4fgdg0D

Vein finders are revolutionizing patient care by using near-infrared light to map veins in real-time, reducing failed punctures and improving comfort.

Important! PhD students comment on now Trump's cuts affected their research. Our govt has lost more than 10,000 STEM PhDs since 2025. Samsara Upadhya qualified for an F31 diversity grant, but her project itself was not DEI related. It was terminated. 🧪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvrA... #Pinks

A good read on the hallmarks of pseudoscience 🚩Oversimplification of complex topics 🚩Science washing of ancient beliefs 🚩Biased handling of positive & negative results 🚩Vague claims using ambiguous language 🚩Logical fallacies, i.e., "it is natural therefore is safe" 🧪 www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/...

Excited about our @mdanderson.bsky.social Inflammatory Breast Cancer abstracts at #AACR26! Great job from our IBC lab teams! @debeblab.bsky.social

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

lots of jarring statistics and heartbreaking stories I could share from this story, but this particular anecdote made me tear up when @jonathanwosen.bsky.social first shared this story with me For more details from our survey of ~1000 nih-funded researchers, read the report below

What does it mean to co-design cancer care 💰🏥 interventions? Who should be involved and how does it work? Excited to speak today at #APOS2026 as part of this all star panel of #financialToxicity experts. Starting 10:15am today Studio 8-9 (2nd Floor) 🙌 Dr @bthomphd.bsky.social

Proud to advocate for patients, clinicians and researchers who want to see better treatments and a cure for #peripheralneuropathy. The Foundation for PN has had massive growth over the last year, and moving toward an exciting 2027 symposium! 🧪🧪

#Medsky🧪 #Oncosky The study findings suggest that there are therapeutic opportunities to eliminate disseminated tumour cells ( DTCs) , separately from treatments aimed at primary tumours, and GR inhibition is one promising target. PDF www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Another amazing life story cut short by inflammatory breast cancer. I found Clare’s NYT podcast and article unexpectedly, while scrolling last year. I loved hearing she had found love. And I’m so sorry she didn’t get more time. Rest in peace Clare. #IBC #cansky www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/p...

A response to the opinion that private $ can replace the NIH. Businesses are not charities. They work on profit margins. Decades of $ is essential for research to progress from an initial discovery to treatment. Most of the dirty work goes on in academic labs. 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🤮🤮🤮

I’ve been emailing a ton of politicians and their staffers recently, and they NEVER respond outside of work hours. Don’t they know they can do it as long as they put a disclaimer at the end??

A single nasal spray vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus, as well as bacterial lung infections, and may even ease allergies, says U.S. researchers. www.bbc.com/news/article...

When I was in Houston this week, I stopped by a coffee shop that employs people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It can seem like a small thing, but as a child psychiatrist, I know how important it is for all people to feel supported, seen & welcomed at work 🌱

The work done at federal agencies went unacknowledged b/c we were used to qualified experts making decisions. You don't create experts out of thin air. "The beauty of academic research is that people could stick w/ hard problems for a long time to make progress." 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

You can’t import another country’s vaccine policy without first importing their actual healthcare system. Our vaccine recommendations fill structural gaps in our healthcare system, which is widely regarded as fragmented, inaccessible to many, and riven with inequalities.

Many doctors rely on an automated system that flags when a patient is due for a vaccine based on the CDC recommendations. The system does not flag vaccines that fall into the shared decision-making category meaning a child may miss a life-saving vaccine. www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-...
