100 paintings from places around the world, one from each of the years in the 1600s.
It's a great historical/cultural snapshot and an opportunity to briefly get outside of whatever industry/bubble you are currently in, as a timeline refresher.
A team of researchers led by Dr. Raghuraman Kannan has received a $2.35 million grant from the National Cancer Institute to expand their research in overcoming drug resistance in non-small cell lung cancer. ➡️ https://t.co/ll20Op8yZc
A great writeup of some of the exciting work we're doing remotely (REALLY remotely, from orbit!) to benefit the Maasai people of Tanzania: https://t.co/sqOLp33vlL

Epidemiologist @WhitneyEpi has a thought-provoking piece—a counter—for @insight on the complexities of age, race and the vaccine rollout. Come for the Stanford "algorithm" prioritizing management🙄 & stay for the peanut-butter-jar-aided Venn diagram😁. https://t.co/8OaAWWe6YS
A team of researchers at the School of Medicine has discovered a treatment combination that significantly reduces tumor growth and extends the life span of mice with liver cancer.
