“I want to send a clear message of concern: It is time to end the tradition in science of all-male speaking panels,” said the director of the National Institutes of Health https://t.co/ri8jljT8fa
From @CDCTobaccoFree at #AACR19: e-cigs like @JUULvapor use proprietary nicotine salts to achieve some of the highest nicotine concentrations of any tobacco products on the market. This is a particular concern for the children and teens who are their biggest users.
“Data becomes information when you put it into context. The problem with medical data is the context is way too small—it’s patient by patient rather than the cohort of humanity”
Fantastic keynote from Greg Simon, President of @BidenCancer@AMIAinformatics#IS19
For decades, Alex Trebek has enlightened and educated the nation through Jeopardy. By courageously sharing his diagnosis and raising awareness about pancreatic cancer, he continues to serve the public. Thank you, Alex. You are a national treasure.

Cancer patients own their data, not hospitals. #CountMeIn empowers patients to contribute their data for research. To find cures.
We are changing the culture of cancer research — sharing data, breaking down silos, and forming new collaborations. We can do this.
Congratulations Jim Allison & Tasuku Honjo on winning the #NobelPrize in Medicine. Your findings have ushered in the era of cancer immunotherapy, which along with surgery, radiation and cytotoxic chemotherapy, represents an important fourth modality for treating cancer.

Interesting take on informed consent & data privacy (+ a S/O to @AllofUsResearch!)
"Caplan points to #NIH All of Us...as a better example of informed consent [than @23andMe], because it clearly explains how, when, & where individuals' data will be used." https://t.co/ZevULHsWAv
During #pridemonth, it’s important to highlight the special challenges the LGBT community confronts, which far too often, result in higher cancer incidence and late stage diagnoses. I am proud of the research @theNCI supports to reduce the burden of cancer among LGBT people.
Yesterday the @NCIDirector highlighted workforce training as an @theNCI priority. Today @ElderSarahGrace from @NCI_CSSI outlined the #BDSTEP program to train data/clinician scientist to solve real healthcare problems w/ #BigData, another priority of NCI. https://t.co/ipZLaT4Fnf
