We doubt there was a dry eye in the room. To see Dr. Carpten rightfully receive his 💐 & simultaneously express gratitude to his 4th grade teacher, who encouraged his early experiments & love of science, was inspiring & heartwarming. We love to see it! #mentor #cancer #bicconf24

What a great start to #BiCconf24 — a standing ovation for keynote speaker John Carpten, CSO @cityofhope! His 4th-grade teacher made a surprise appearance to announce that his hometown of Leland, MS has declared September 14 a day in his honor. 👏👏@djhazadus @BlackinCancer

What's better than 1 oncologist?? A room full of cancer researchers, providers, advocates & stakeholders! Excited to attend @BlackinCancer conference @FredNatLab @theNCI today. But first a look back at the 2022 conference in London & what it meant to The Onc Doc, @FiyinfoluB.

@siggs28 @BlackinCancer Congratulations!!!

Disclosing a cancer diagnosis to loved ones is never easy. In our latest podcast episode, Isi, our dear family, shared w/ us the impact of learning about her mother's terminal cancer diagnosis at her hospital bedside. We're grateful for her vulnerability🙏🏿
