I kinda hope vaccination gets covered like an election where we have all these maps on the news showing what % of people have been vaccinated to keep things exciting

Today, the GSC turns 20!
The Government of British Columbia has issued a proclamation in official recognition of the GSC’s 20th anniversary as an event of provincial importance and historical significance! #GSC20

Harnessing the power of our own immune systems can help fight off cancer. Researchers from the @holt_lab @BCCancer_GSC have developed a new method to tell immune cells exactly what to look for. https://t.co/2qbYZjGtKH

Cancer touches us all. About half of us can expect to receive a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime.

That's why the work at the @BCCancer_GSC is so important. What I saw yesterday, and the people I met, gives me confidence that we can beat this disease. Thank you for having me.

We had the honour of welcoming the Premier of British Columbia to @BCCancer_GSC today. Thank you, @jjhorgan, for your interest and enthusiasm in genome science and the GSC! It was a pleasure to show you our large-scale #DNA sequencing and high-through #bioinformatics platform.

20 years ago, Dr. Michael Smith founded the @BCCancer_GSC, the world’s first genome centre embedded within a cancer clinic. This November, the GSC is celebrating their 20th anniversary with a Symposium on Day 1 of the 2019 #BCCancerSummit: https://t.co/DiE2a98RLx #GSC20

@antje_grotz ive been there! thankfully in my case i discovered that the proteins i was studying existed in mouse spleens, so i switched over to using mouse cadavers.
