Celebrating our annual international lab dinner 🎉 👨🏽‍🍳 🧑🏻‍🍳 We are so fortunate to have this amazing team of motivated scientists, and very talented cooks 🤩 sharing delicious food & culture from around the world 🌍🌎🌏 Grateful for our #international #team 🇮🇹🇫🇷🇨🇦🇪🇸🇨🇭🇬🇧🇪🇬🇩🇪🇵🇹🇲🇽🇮🇪 - this truly enriches our science 🙏 🙌

The projected rise in global cancer deaths 1990 —5.9 million 2023—10.4 million 2050—18.8 million is yet another reason we need to get primary prevention into high gear, which is now possible but not getting done www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Cancer is a shared, global challenge - one that demands collaboration to spark the innovations that save lives. Together, we advance research that is meaningful, inclusive, and benefits all 🌍 #WorldCancerResearchDay #WCRD

A team led by Ludwig Lausanne’s @johannajoyce.bsky.social & former postdoc @alvarezprado.bsky.social reports a potential drug target whose loss in certain GBM cells triggers antiviral alarms to stall cell proliferation & makes GBM tumors in mice more amenable to anti-cancer immunity. bit.ly/4nhZ7Bj

Academics once loved Twitter—but in the age of X they’ve abandoned it in droves. www.wired.com/story/bluesk...

Posts about research on Bluesky receive substantially more attention than similar posts on X, formerly called Twitter go.nature.com/45Ftiw4

Cancer cells are notoriously plastic, but what triggers the changes in cell state? In our new Nature (@nature.com)‬ paper, Miranda Hunter (@mrndhntr.bsky.social‬) found that mechanical pressure is a key to this switch. Check it out here: go.nature.com/47iwDm2

"An 'overwhelming majority' of respondents said that Bluesky has a "vibrant and healthy online science community," while Twitter no longer does.." #BlueskyforScience 🧪 arstechnica.com/science/2025...
