🧪Did you know that America is known for its cancer research b/c of the National Cancer Act in 1971 signed by Nixon. Mary Lasker took her cause to congress and the American public as a leading proponent of the National Cancer Act. She said, "If you think research is expensive, try disease!"
Letter to Mary Lasker from Richard Nixon dated Jan 11 1972.
Regarding the signing of the National Cancer Act of 1971.

Rosalind Franklin’s work in X-ray crystallography was key to uncovering DNA’s double-helix structure. In a field dominated by men, she not only excelled but also shattered stereotypes, demonstrating that women drive groundbreaking discoveries in science. 🔬 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM
Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

You cannot underestimate all the positive and long-term benefits of having a supportive #mentor One could argue this is at least as important as the research topic 🧪 Do choose wisely.. #MentoringMonth

Really interesting paper 🧪 🤩 Immune evasion through mitochondrial transfer 😮 Ikeda et al find that #mitochondria from cancer cells can #transfer over to T cells - altering their #metabolism & reducing antitumour immunity www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/d41... @nature.com

Cancer cells ‘poison’ the immune system with tainted mitochondria
Immune cells lose their cancer-fighting prowess after taking tumours’ organelles on board.
