My lab had a watch party for Brian Wolpin's plenary lecture at ASCO reporting the results of the RASolute 302 Phase 3 trial of daraxonrasib in previously-treated metastatic PDAC. TWO standing ovations. So incredibly excited to see these results.

Someone in one of the labs in my building woke up this morning and chose violence. The cardboard box is slowly crushing over time, creating the leaning tower of mini-fridge. WHY!?!?! (Lab name redacted to protect the guilty...)

The sky is so clear tonight we could see Mars passing behind the moon by eye even in Manhattan! Managed to catch it about 5 minutes before occultation.

Managed to get the lab out to celebrate some big milestones a while back - we all made terrariums and then went out for Korean bbq. Super fun (and tasty)!

The successful thesis defense by our amazing student Ula Wasko! Dr. Wasko was first author Nature paper on pan-RAS inhibition in pancreatic cancer and has now joined Revolution Medicines to continue working on RAS inhibitors. We get to keep working as collaborators! Could not be more proud of Ula!
