Proud of my colleague @sundar__raghav

[Yale Cancer Center @YaleCancer]

Great talk by @sundar__raghav at #ASCO26 on “Breaking the Immune Sanctuary: Targeting Metastatic Niches.” Metastasis may not be random—immune and cellular niches matter. These metastatic “sanctuary” sites can limit immunotherapy responses, underscoring the need for better treatment strategies. Understanding these niches may be the next frontier in cancer therapy. @ASCO @SmilowCancer @OncoAlert

The University of California needs the SAT back. Even the overwhelmingly liberal Berkeley faculty are fed up with the admission of unprepared students, write Svetlana Jitomirskaya and Zvezdelina Stankova

Cheers, chills, and a standing ovation when RASolute 302 showed unprecedented survival on daraxonrasib for patients with progressive pancreatic cancer

Seldom do you sense you’re witnessing a historic moment in cancer care but this feels like ras targeting has arrived

#ASCO26

[Julius Chapiro @JuliusChapiro]

Amazing moment and the applause goes to the trial investigators, the patients but let’s not forget @RevMedicines and their scientists, business managers and the clinical trial office who made this possible as well. It took the power of free market enterprise, unshackled and unmitigated capitalism, entrepreneurial spirit, and the power and will of the American economy and innovation spirit to achieve such results. This is huge! 🇺🇸

[Antonio Giordano, MD PhD @antgiorda]

Hemotional results. Dedicate to all patients with pancreatic cancer. Results like this one makes me a better clinical investigator and physician when I’ll go back in clinic next week.

[Julius Chapiro @JuliusChapiro]

@DeanMeltzer @TomVargheseJr @KECKSchool_USC Huge congrats including on the masterful and wise recruitment of a truly fantastic department chair for Radiology. What a great catch and match. 👌

[Julius Chapiro @JuliusChapiro]

@CleClinicNews Huge congrats. Extremely great appointment and great news for gastroenterologists everywhere. Cleveland Clinic believes in physician leadership in executive roles of Hospitals. A national role model.

@marklewismd You are so right! The future is very bright. There never was and never will be a better time to be a doctor than now. Or any given day for that matter

[Mark Lewis, MD, FASCO @marklewismd]

I was a freshman in high school when I decided I wanted to be an oncologist

I had a meaningful full-circle moment today at #ASCO26 when I met a remarkably articulate young man who, at roughly the same age, has set his sights on joining our field

The future is so very bright🌟

@AnjanaPillaiMD This is a positive trial. Not PFS. Not barely significant p value. You can see people live almost 3 times as long. That’s just extraordinary. I don’t recall anything like it in any other cancer.

[Julius Chapiro @JuliusChapiro]

That’s a chart you will not see often in life. Wow. That is….really remarkable. Just remarkable.

[NEJM @NEJM]

Presented at #ASCO26:

Among patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the RAS(ON) inhibitor daraxonrasib led to significantly longer overall survival and progression-free survival than chemotherapy. Full phase 3 RASolute 302 trial results: https://t.co/xwLWBZYRzq

[TeslaTracker @TeslaTrackerUS]

🏭 620-mile Tesla Roadster is reportedly headed to Austin

• New video indicates Roadster production is planned for Gigafactory Texas
• Target specs still read 1.9s 0-60, 250 mph, and 620 miles
• That would put Roadster beside Cybertruck and Cybercab work

The next time the Democrats need an election autopsy, they have to hire an actual coroner.

This year’s @SIO_Central #NEXT summit is packed again. Great multidisciplinary meeting with focus on HCC & Immuno! Just in time for all the exciting data at @ASCO @sitcancer

Heartbreaking to hear about the hardships of regular Iranians.

[عبدالله موسولچی @Mosolchi]

After 3 months of internet outage
I connected from inside Iran
And I have only one message for the world
Don't believe the lies of the Western Ayatollah-loving medias
The Islamic Republic is not winning the war and has suffered a heavy defeat
Militarily, we witnessed the destruction of IRGC centers in cities every day
Economically, prices in Iran have exploded and we can no longer even afford to buy chicken and eggs
The regime has been controlling the streets with armed terrorists for more than three months in order not to fall
They cut off the internet for three months so that you wouldn't hear these words
Even if you hate Donald Trump
You have to accept that the decisive winner of this war is America

@Polymarket This is good because this car needs Jesus to be a success with the buyers.

[Julius Chapiro @JuliusChapiro]

With all due respect, the upset is not because the car is electric. The upset is because the car has no class, poor design, and compromises on everything Ferrari always represented. The reaction is not fierce because of the metrics of the power train or the technology. It’s because this car means nothing and has no spirit and no soul. On a positive note; this is a disaster of such magnificent proportions that it in fact distracted people from the catastrophic rollouts of the Mercedes AMG GT4. Just when we thought Stuttgart lost its mind, Modena beat them to it.

University of California STEM professors want standardized tests back due to severe math deficiencies among students:

“We now observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle school mathematics”

“The current admissions metric, based primarily on GPA & essays, can no longer reliably distinguish readiness for university-level STEM majors in an era of severe grade inflation & AI assisted application essays”

[Julius Chapiro @JuliusChapiro]

Agree

🚨 | Luca Cordero di Montezemolo on the new Ferrari Luce:

"If I said what I really think, I'd harm Ferrari. We're risking the destruction of a myth, I'm very sorry about that. I hope they at least remove the Prancing Horse from that car"
