“Prevent breast cancer? Oh God, here comes Craig Jordan talking about tamoxifen again. Pretend you haven’t seen him,” Jordan said in an oral history interview with the Cancer History Project. #BCSM #HistMed

People have a voice, and they want to connect. I said that during my opening remarks at the 2022 Annual Convening of The Robert A. Winn Diversity in Clinical Trials Award Program, and I’m sure I’ll say it again during my time here. Our research depends on representation.

Environmental exposure and social determinants matter.

Thank you @caroline_efird for running an exceptional training on oral history methods. Listening is a skill that requires practice!

Looking forward to listening as we collect breast cancer oral histories: #StoriesOfSurvivorship

Race and Ancestry in Immune Response to Breast Cancer https://t.co/MnY7Ir2nQZ
Out now: Davis's important paper in Cancer Discovery. @MeliD32 @MartiniRachel
Honored to contribute high-level summary with @AlinaHamilton @HoadleyLab

[Melissa B Davis, PhD @MeliD32]

The inclusion of diverse populations in cancer research is improving our capacity for equitable Precision Medicine. Genetic ancestry is an important part of this emerging translation of molecular studies!!
Thanks for having me! @AtlanticLIVE
