Today in @CellCellPress! 🗓️

Read this article from the Venkataramani lab to learn how brain tumor cells create extensive neural networks in #glioblastoma. 🧠

Congratulations to all the authors! 👏

🎗️Tomorrow marks the beginning of #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth!

Join us in raising awareness for the millions of children and families affected by cancer. Together, we can work towards a future where every child has a chance to thrive.

No child should die of cancer!

@gminniti2012 Absolutely Prof! However we are struggling to get the proper way of transferring reconstruction of dti onto treatment planning systems. Will watch this space.

A deep learning model is used to classify central nervous system tumors based on their DNA methylation profile directly from histopathology and showed high accuracy in a large set of external validation cohorts, potentially informing downstream treatment.

The 3-part framework I use to instantly break out of a "Mental Rut" (so I can get clarity on work or personal blockers and reclaim my focus)

Step 1: Leave all screens behind, grab my journal, and walk to a random coffee shop.

My phone and computer usually prevent me from thinking clearly, especially when I'm in a funk. Luckily, there are no distracting apps inside my Muji Notebook. So I'll grab my bag and journal, then head outside to get some sun and get moving.

Step 2: Brain dump anything that's on my mind once I get there (over a double espresso).

After a ~30-minute walk, I usually feel better and am starting to think clearly. So then, I'll post up at a coffee shop, grab a double espresso, and brain-dump anything on my mind. This action alone gets me 90% of the way there—because most of the things that have me worked up look silly on paper.

Step 3: Tip the barista nicely, then pay for the coffee of the next 3 people behind me.

Finally, I tap into instant serotonin with a few random acts of kindness to others in the coffee shop. (Shoutout to my boy @george__mack for this one.)

And that's it!

This is a potent mix of movement, reflection, and gratitude—and it always does the trick.

If you enjoyed this, let me know in the replies. I'd appreciate it if you could like the post and repost it so more people can find it ✊

Then follow me @dickiebush for more posts like this on personal progress.

Up to 40% of patients with medulloblastoma receive a diagnosis of #posteriorfossasyndrome, yet simple & preventative measures could reduce the incidence by 75%. Today, I presented findings from the @StJudeResearch clinical trial #SJMB12 on the experience with PFS. @posteriorfossa

Visiting @TMCKolkata to discuss cooperation on @MnpOutreach and learn about how it can impact physicians’ work on the #pediatriconcology ward.

Thank you for the insights into your work and the great exchange!
