Expected time commitment?
3-5 minutes minimum. You can participate as much or as little as you like, but we encourage you to return to the conversation at least 2-3 times to see how the conversation evolves. It's a nice time filler you can do on your phone.

Over 5,500 votes have been cast on statements like:
- Development of new melanoma medicines should be prioritised over research into de-intensification
- Everyone, regardless of age, should be offered de-intensified treatment options
- Fear of being overtreated is real

[Jenn Soon @drjnnsoon]

The Oxford comma (also known as the 'serial comma') is the comma that separates the second to last item in a list from a final item that is introduced by 'and' or 'or.'

It is optional...but be aware that not using the serial comma can result in some ambiguity.

I am deeply honoured to have been awarded the Morgan Mansell Young Melanoma Researcher of the Year, in recognition of Morgan, an incredible human who faced unimaginable health challenges.

[Melanoma MRV @Melanoma_MRV]

Congratulations to Dr Jennifer Soon @drjnnsoon, the 2023 Morgan Mansell Young Melanoma Researcher of the Year. Congrats also to the other two finalists Dr Emma Bawden and Dr Deval Mehta. Excellent presentations by all. Such a highlight of MRVs annual Meeting.

💰 The rising cost of #cancer treatment places immense pressure on those who bear the price.

💊 @drjnnsoon from @ServicesCancer explores how a new prioritisation technique called #HorizonScanning can provide equitable access to life-saving medicines.

Our new study is out today in The BMJ @bmj_latest!

Can receiving drug industry money lead oncologists to provide WORSE care?
The answer we found appears to be “yes”…

@CancerEthicsDoc @Fannychini Yes, the quality of my penmanship has called into question my clinical qualifications in the past...

[Jenn Soon @drjnnsoon]

So I tried to make my own #Sankey diagram in R. It resulted in next level frustration and I was *this close* to drawing it out with pen and paper. Thankfully, I have an excellent teacher @Fannychini 💜 #datascientistsareundervalued #cliniciansdontunderstand

@CancerEthicsDoc @SamuelXStevens @DKarikios 20 years and counting - lucky me? Or unlucky you?

[Jenn Soon @drjnnsoon]

There's been criticism from some (*cough* @CancerEthicsDoc *cough*) about my lack of #MOGA23 conf content. I'll argue it's been covered well enough by others, incl @SamuelXStevens and @DKarikios. Absolute pleasure to meet the above F2F after hearing so much about their work 1/2

@anmwongNZ @MOGA_ORG @LindaMileshkin @DKarikios @NZCancerSo She did ask me why all of us were using Twitter... and that made me feel old. Maybe we should be giving all academic updates through dance on tiktok

[Jenn Soon @drjnnsoon]

@anmwongNZ @MOGA_ORG @LindaMileshkin @DKarikios @NZCancerSo Had a good chat with Niamh over dinner. Sensible and lovely - she'll be a great doc :)

Obvious conference highlight: meeting @oncology_bg and catching up with old work colleagues @DrChloeG, Hayley R and Arielle VM. The real lowlight was realising I can't sleep without my snoring husband next to me and unweaned toddler attached to me. 2/2
