Congratulations to Dr Onyinye Iweala MD PhD @onyiiwealamdphd for your promotion and confirmation of Tenure as Associate Professor of Medicine -Allergy and Immunology UNC Medical School, Chapel Hill. So so proud of you!!!
☀️ Today in Utqiagvik (the northernmost city in the United States), the sun rose above the horizon at 2:57 AM and won’t set again for 84 straight days or until August 2nd! Here's a look at a timelapse showing the sunset and sunrise this morning. #akwx
Temisan Okomi was an inspiring family man. Let’s do whatever we can to support them. Please reach out to my brother @biolakazeem if interested. Please let’s do this @PoojaMedia . We owe this one thing to him.
Madden Orlovsky had a heartfelt message for his family and friends in honor of World Autism Awareness Day 🥹
This was a special moment for all of us at ESPN. Thanks, Madden and @danorlovsky7 ❤️
Remembering this song titled "Seun rere" by Christy Essien Igbokwe, one of Nigeria's greatest female singers.
The music video was shot in London in 1982
NEW: Actor Eric Dane, who passed away following a battle with ALS, records one final message for his teenage daughters.
Dane recorded the interview with Netflix in secret, knowing it would be released after his passing.
"Billie and Georgia, these words are for you. I tried. I stumbled sometimes, but I tried. Overall, we had a blast, didn't we?"
"I remember all the times we spent at the beach, the two of you, me, and mom..."
"I want to tell you four things I've learned from this disease, and I hope you won't just listen to me. I hope you'll hear me."
"Live now, right now, in the present. It's hard, but I learned to do that for years."
"I would wander off mentally lost in my head for long chunks of time, wallowing in worry and self-pity, shame and doubt, and replay decisions. Second-guess myself. 'I should have done this. I never should have done that.' No more."
RIP.

𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 is a hallmark of cancer development and progression characterized by the accumulation of DNA damage; genome instability manifests as increased genetic alteration across the genome, including chromosomal translocations, structural variants, extrachromosomal DNAs, and aneuploidy. Replication stress, frequently observed in rapidly dividing cells, and exogenous factors, such as ultraviolet and ionizing radiation, tobacco smoke, and certain chemicals, can result in genome instability. Early genetic events in the life of cancer cells, such as changes in the maintenance of telomeric length, or the activation of an oncogene can lead to genome instability. Loss-of-function variants in genes encoding tumor suppressor proteins, such as those that mediate DNA repair and cell-cycle checkpoints, can also contribute to an unstable genome.

And just like that, the quarter is almost over. Here are my last 30 seconds of instruction for this quarter. "Thr-His-Ala-Asn-Lys-Ser!" is how biochemists say "thanks."
EXCITED to share the publication of this manuscript 🎉 I was evaluating a Specialized Pheromone and Lure Application Technology (SPLAT) formulation developed for diamondback moth (DBM) management in Cole crops combined with new chemistries (GS-omega/kappa-Hxtx-HV1a).
Proud! 😊
It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis or other (non-LCH) histiocytic sarcomas cases.
I'm trying to understand non-surgical chemo and targeted therapy options, new pathology markers to better diagnose subtypes/treatments, and any data on progression in pediatric patients. Please feel free to share – I’m trying to cast a wide net due to the rarity of this condition and how little is known.
People can contact me directly at my first name (as written in my profile) at https://t.co/ubo0zQRMn0.
