After 10 years in academic medicine, I've learned a few things - often by messing up or making assumptions.

Here's a quick 🧵on 5 things I've learned that may be helpful for the budding academic...

Tumor immunology, simplified😅

How will I change the world?

Dream.”

A great privilege to listen to, be inspired by, and, in a way, gain a small distillation of mentorship from @deniswirtz today at his fabulous lecture on 3D multiomic tumor maps and tissue infiltrating CARTs, hosted by @DoctorQMd at @MayoClinic.

1/Please share this thread on behalf of my physician colleague, Eunice Stallman, who is facing the nightmare of her 9mo daughter, Zoey, being diagnosed with brain cancer several weeks ago. @BlueCrossIdaho has added to their anguish by obstructing access to vital treatment.

[Lady Glaucomflecken (she/her) @LGlaucomflecken]

In my 10+ years of co-survivorship, doing life with @DGlaucomflecken through 2 separate cancers, 1 SCA and fighting off his death with 10 mins of #CPR, only ONE (1) of the medical professionals we interacted with has ever asked how I was doing. Meet Roger. https://t.co/NR4F2mkcZC

Privilege to attend and present at #FLASCO with fellow #mayoclinic colleagues! Always great to attend, connect, and learn from this diverse group of people committed to improving cancer care in FL and beyond! Exciting times as new therapies, diagnostics, and frameworks evolve.

@cterminiPHD @fredhutch Congratulations, Tina! What an incredible career milestone. Very excited for you, and can’t wait to see what’s next!

[Nathaniel Wiest @MedWiest]

Interesting fact learned at FLASCO residents and fellows conference: Progress is being made into targeting other immune checkpoint receptors including TIGIT that may synergize with traditional PD1/PDL1/CTLA4 mAbs with multiple clinical trials underway! #FLASCOfellows @FLASCO_ORG

[Nathaniel Wiest @MedWiest]

Excited to meet our Genentech MSL for breast and ovarian cancer, Acacia Strachan! Critical to make progress in these important cancers. #FLASCOfellows @FLASCO_ORG

@FLASCO_ORG Excited to attend the FLASCO Fellows and Residents conference! Awesome exhibits and glad to meet MSLs and representatives sharing treatments moving care forward in FL and worldwide! #FLASCOfellows #FLASCO

with the time spent with this patient. Who showed me that medicine is so much more than physiology, and that by simply being present and listening I can make an impact for the better. Thank you @DrDrAbhiKole for reminding me of this moment.

[Nathaniel Wiest @MedWiest]

Inspired by @DrDrAbhiKole to share a story. One of my first patients in my clinical rotations was an amazingly warm and kind veteran with advanced pancreas cancer. I was learning my way, still learning how to pre-round and present cases etc. Every morning when I would walk into

[Nathaniel Wiest @MedWiest]

He thanked me for being there for him. I didn't know what to say. I felt unworthy to spend such a meaningful and powerful moment with him. Recently, I was accepted for heme-onc fellowship @MayoClinic in Florida. My journey on this path in many ways started, at least emotionally,
