Still appreciating the amazing research at #AACR26! Patrick McCann shared phase 1b trial results showing that neoadjuvant IL-1β + PD-1 inhibition demonstrated promising clinical activity in patients with localized clear cell renal cell carcinoma. @MSKCancerCenter

The only thing cooler than science is scientists. Congrats on describing seven new frog species, and great job creatively naming them based on their sci-fi-esque vocalizations! (B. janewayae is my favorite.)
🖖🐸
Meet Boophis kirki, B. picardi, and five other #newspecies of treefrog from #Madagascar named after #StarTrek captains!
Published #OA in Vertebrate Zoology.

@RoyalMailHelp@USPSHelp Thank you! Most promising theory I have so far: it’s in front of what was once the Embassy Club, founded by Anthony J. Drexel Biddle Jr. in 1925. Biddle was a diplomat who lived in the UK during WWII and served as US ambassador to several governments-in-exile in London.
Spotted while walking on E 57th Street. @RoyalMail: any idea how a George V pillar box ended up in the middle of New York City? Google is failing to provide an answer on this one!
MSK GU Med Onc hosted eight medical and pre-med students this summer! They contributed to our understanding of biomarkers, trial methodology, and everything in between, and were motivated and compassionate members of our team. Our future is in excellent hands!
A first of its kind clinical trial led by MSK exercise scientist Dr. Lee Jones suggests that specific amounts of exercise by men w/ early-stage #prostatecancer before surgery can meaningfully improve two key biomarkers associated w/ better outcomes ⬇️ https://t.co/7Xa5A3Apgs
🥇🥇Amazing to be recognized as the top Urology program for the second year in a row. Thanks to all of our team members including our incredible nurses, PAs, technicians and of course our all star fellows! A special recognition to our chief @easthamja!!

Just checked in with a favorite piece of NYC street art: the signatures of woman artists transcribed onto an E 72nd St. sidewalk. Angelica Kauffman, Isabel Bishop, Camille Claudel, Sofonisba Anguissola, Gwen John, Berthe Morisot, and Rosa Bonheur are also represented!
Mission trivia: Butch and Suni are the first astronauts to ride an Atlas rocket into orbit since Gordo Cooper’s legendary Mercury-Atlas 9 flight in 1963. It was thrilling to see it perform so well!
Congratulations to all. Looking forward to future #Starliner flights!
Starliner to the stars! ✨
At 10:52am ET, @BoeingSpace#Starliner lifted off on a @ULALaunch Atlas V for the first time with @NASA_Astronauts aboard. This Crew Flight Test aims to certify the spacecraft for routine space travel to and from the @Space_Station.
Kranz never said it to his staff! “Failure is not an option” was written for the film Apollo 13, for Ed Harris playing Kranz. The real Kranz thought it captured the ethos of Mission Control so perfectly that he adopted it. It’s even the title of his (excellent) autobiography.
It’s always a treat when I get to share trivia related to both @NASA and Star Trek! In the latest #StarTrekDiscovery, my new favorite character, Rayner, tells his crew that “failure is not an option.” The quote is famously attributed to legendary flight director Gene Kranz. But…
I signed up as a Citizen Archivist, and encourage other former data coordinators in need of a cool hobby to do the same! Years of reading handwritten doctors’ notes make us well-equipped to read 19th-century cursive. (Sorry, colleagues. You’re the best. But it’s true.)
The National Archives and the National Park Service (@NatlParkService) are collaborating on a special project to transcribe the Revolutionary War pension files. Join in!

Favorite part of today’s #DoctorWho: Ruby mentioning #StarTrek and Fifteen responding “we’ve got to visit them one day.” In the comics, Eleven and Picard teamed up to defeat a Borg/Cybermen alliance, and Kirk worked with Four. Is that canon now? ;) https://t.co/jWT0T0LoHT
During the last few months, I’ve been getting lots of predatory conference spam with names of celebrities in the “from” field. They usually use the names of actors, but today’s email was from René Magritte. Ceci n’est pas une conference?
@maisiecora I know many deadpan-hilarious urologists, so as far as I'm concerned, Todd nailed it.
(Am I conveniently ignoring the lack of good reasons why a urologist would own a brain in a jar? Yes. Yes I am.)
My PCP’s office just sent me an email newsletter reminding me to not stare directly into the sun during next week’s solar eclipse. It’s alarming that this was necessary, but it’s probably very necessary.
