I just finished a great book: "Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned: The Myth of the Objective". It is a book about discovery, curiosity and novelty written by a pair of computer scientists. a THREAD with some polls... (1/n) link.springer.com/content/pdf/10…

The ability of demagogues & autocrats to surprise, to create a new scandal every day, is their superpower. It diminishes attention to the previous day's transgressions & normalizes them. It slowly numbs the senses, including outrage. Values are the only defense. Hold them dear.

🔥"Postdoc Night Science Boston" will have its first meeting November 21st at 3:30 at MIT! Postdocs: join us for a session on importing/exporting ideas across research fields! I'll lead this together with Shai Zilberzwige-Tal🙏 Register here (limited spots): docs.google.com/forms/d/1T3aTL…

Great talk from my former PhD mentor. Scary implications. Check the preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are hiring postdocs! Projects on 1) probes for remote control of cell death and inflammation, and 2) application in vivo to study inflammation in cancer and therapy. Exciting science in an unparalleled environment Penn Penn Bioengineering. DM or email if interested!

Looking without bias is very hard to do. We want to “let the data do the talking” but data must be interpreted against backgrounds that are not bias-free. I want to tell you about an experiment showing how when looking at a plot, we come with bias that frames our perception.🧵⬇️

The enormous drive and dedication paid off with remarkable growth and progress! One first-author paper has been published, with 3 more coming (including 2 already available on BioRxiv)

🚨This work would not have been possible without Hilal Ozakinci Dr. Bina Desai and Andriy Marusyk. True team science project at Moffitt Cancer Center. Tweetorial to follow soon!

Fantastic presentation from Sui Huang today on, Beyond Neo-Darwinism in Cancer Biology: How Waddington's Landscape Formalism Accommodates Non-Genetic Plasticity in Tumor Progression. This was part of our Quantitative science grand rounds Moffitt Cancer Center ISB

Responding to America's call for help after the 9/11 terror attacks, Ukraine sent over 5,000 troops to Iraq - the 3rd largest Coalition forces contingent. 18 Ukrainian soldiers died during combat operations in the name of defending the United States. army.mil/article/15056/…

Not finding specific genes and brain mechanisms that cause mental disorders does not mean they are a myth, it means that the machine metaphor is incorrect. We will find the causes in dysfunctions of organically complex systems...like those that cause cancer and epilepsy.

Contrary to popular belief, what is important in science is as much its spirit as its product: it is as much the openmindedness, the primacy of criticism, the submission to the unforeseen, however upsetting, as the result, however new that may be.– F Jacob nature.com/articles/s4158…

How do adaptable cancer cells outsmart treatment? At #AACR25 Alicia Bjornberg, a PhD candidate, explores how cancer cells adapt to survive therapy and why stopping that adaptability could lead to to better outcomes. Read more: bit.ly/445m9ER #MoffittAACR25

Barbara McClintock proposed – over 40 years ago – that transposable element activity could be a response to stress, and I think that we are still only beginning to understand how right she was.

Great set of talks and discussion at the AACR Cancer Evolution Working Group #CEWG meeting last night #AACR25 If you are interested in cancer evolution and aren’t part of this subgroup you are seriously missing out! Come join us: aacr.org/professionals/…

Live from #AACR25: Alexander Anderson, PhD, (Sandy Anderson) leads the Adaptive Therapy from Board to Bench to Bedside and Back Again symposium. He shares how evolution-inspired treatment strategies like adaptive therapy can optimize drug use, delay resistance and improve outcomes

Evolution-informed Treatment Vulnerabilities: Renee Brady-Nicholls and Jacob Scott will address this topic in AACR Cancer Evolution Working Group Seminar (11:30 AM-1:00 PM ET; Thursday, May 15). Learn more: brnw.ch/21wSFEw #AACRCEWG Renee Brady Jake Scott

🎓 Congratulations to Malgorzata (Gosia) Weh, PhD on the successful defense of her doctoral dissertation entitled, “The Only Constant is Change: the Role of Genetic Diversification in Cancer and Beyond”. Gosia was mentored by David Basanta and Andriy Marusyk during her PhD.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
