Hey, same.

Easily one of the most satisfying emails I've ever received. I'm beyond thankful for the mentorship of Daniel Wahl and maria g castro for helping me reach this milestone! Next up: my Ph.D. thesis!

Erik Peterson maria g castro I couldn’t be prouder. Outstanding work by Erik to try to understand treatment resistance in DIPG and only possible with funding and help from maria g castro Lyssiotis Lab Vennetilab Carl Koschmann and ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation

Officially official!

New Wahl lab publication! This time led by Erik Peterson, truly exceptional Cancer Biology PhD student, comentored by maria g castro . Erik figured out a new way to overcome treatment resistance in the deadly pediatric brain cancer #DIPG. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38594734/ (1/n)

We are very grateful for the Taubman Institute visit from Vanderbilt University Jeff Spraggins, who taught us about imaging mass spectrometry and multimodal spatial analyses. Great lecture, and added degree of difficulty with fire alarm interruption!

Underway at the 2nd Annual ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation Defeat DIPG Research Workshop! Incredibly excited to spend the day learning amongst some of the leading names in the field of DIPG research as we work towards a cure for this terrible disease!

The incredible Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦 leading the fight against #DIPG. Michelle represents the true essence of a physician scientist translating incredible science from her lab to the clinical! So inspiring and such a fantastic role model! ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation

A new study from #RogelCancer researcher Daniel Wahl shows that pediatric brain tumors rely on different metabolic “route” to fuel treatment resistance, a key to understanding treatment resistance in this aggressive form of cancer. Read more: michmed.org/bwZnr

Locking in for thesis writing means it’s time to bring in the big guns:

I’m extremely grateful to have been given this opportunity to present my work to so many fantastic scientists! Looking forward to the next Triple M! #MidwestMetabolismMeeting

In roughly 3 weeks, l’ll finally be defending my thesis!

Mission accomplished

Thank you, Daniel Wahl and maria g castro for being the best mentors a graduate student could ask for. It’s so exciting to be done and to be preparing for the next phase of my life!

Though I’m terrified of what this means broadly and for the scientific community specifically, I keep returning to this today to remind myself that this is out of my hands and that the best thing we can do is to push back against the growing tide of anti-science in this country.

How your email finds me:

As of yesterday, I’m officially Dr. Peterson. A huge thanks to everyone who helped me get here, especially Daniel Wahl and maria g castro, my two incredible co-mentors! (Please ignore the lighting that makes me look like a lunatic lol)

Super excited to be attending the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Metabolomics Course for the next two weeks! Like summer camp for science!

"There are no Amish with autism" There are "Vaccines aren't tested against placebo" They are "MMR has never been studied as a possible cause of autism" It has. It's not the cause. I apparently need to say this stuff over and over and over and over again. And again.
