Chicago, you beauty!

Congratulations to Daniel Wahl and his group whose paper on targeting glucose metabolism in GBM cells is now published in nature. the potential of amino acid diet restriction to slow tumor growth due. Groundbreaking work with big implications! UMich Rad Onc U-M Rogel Cancer Center

Scientists in training should be taught the creative scientific process, to gain confidence in their self-efficacy for research and identity as a scientist, & also for greater work satisfaction and a chance of staying in science. Join our community at night-science.org

Earlier this year, I learned I have a pathogenic variant in BRCA2, which gives me a very high lifetime risk of breast cancer (55-69%), as well as an increased risk of ovarian cancer (12-29%) and pancreatic cancer (5-10%). 🧵1/ …

Cancer is an evolutionary disease, but does knowing a cancer’s evolutionary past help predict its future? Out today in nature, we learnt the evolution of 2000 lymphoid cancers and found it was highly correlated with clinical outcomes! (1/7, link below)

The most important skill for a researcher is not technical ability. It's taste. The ability to identify interesting and tractable problems, and recognize important ideas when they show up. This can't be taught directly. It's cultivated through curiosity and broad reading.

A huge part of research taste is inherited from mentors

PSA: Stop calling macrophages in tissue M1 or M2. These are not states that exist in biology. The only use of M1 is a macrophage cultured ex vivo with LPS and IFNg; and for M2: IL-4/13/10. Macrophages in tissues are highly complex and diverse and do not resemble either of the

Which is better? Lactated Ringer’s solution or normal saline? The latest video in our partnership with Dr. Glaucomflecken summarizes the FLUID trial. 👉 nej.md/DrG26

"This place is big enough for both of us" - Such a beautiful title for a research paper and overall life. This title is not just for lovebirds, lab partners, or collaborators, but for anyone navigating (or trying to navigate) life together. It is a reminder that there’s always

There’s a reason almost every med school curriculum starts here so you learn early on what you signed up for

What a wonderful lunch today with Michael A. Curran, Ph.D. from MD Anderson. Grateful for the chance to learn and share ideas.

Coolest new P10 at the Ahmed Lab @ Northwestern.

Clinicians can enhance patient understanding by using numerical data instead of verbal probabilities, consistent denominators, absolute risk comparisons, and clear context for unfamiliar data types. ja.ma/42JRNGk

Today is the 54th anniversary of the first CT scan 🎉

“My parents could barely read or write. It’s been quite a journey, science allows you to do it.” New laureate Omar Yaghi was in the middle of changing flights when we reached him, just after he heard that he had been awarded the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry. In this interview

Congrats to Dr. Yaghi on the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for metal-organic frameworks. Dr. Yaghi was the first PI to let me spend time in his lab UC Berkeley for a summer when I was 13! I remain in awe at how he graciously responded to my email, inaugurating my journey in research.

Fall colors are so pretty!

While reading the new Crick biography from Matthew Cobb, I was struck by this fact: Watson & Crick offered Maurice Wilkins a co-author spot on their famous 1953 paper reporting DNA's structure, but Wilkins turned the offer because he hadn’t taken part in building the model.
