Five types of people you want to surround yourself with:
the inspired, the passionate, the motivated, the grateful and the open minded.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

What do I advise? Forget it all. Don't be afraid. Do what you get the most pleasure from.
Develop your talents wherever they may lead. If you have any talent, or any occupation that delights you, do it! Your work doesn't feel like work if you enjoy doing it.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

It's Okay to say "I don't know!"

There's no shame in that! The only shame is to pretend that we know everything. Illusion of knowledge is more dangerous than ignorance. 🧠

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

1. Never stop learning.
2. See failure as a beginning.
3. Teach others what you know.
4. Assume nothing, question everything.
5. Analyze objectively.
6. Practice humility.
7. Respect constructive criticism.
8. Love what you do.
9. Give credit where it's due.
10. Take initiative.

More likely to die of a non COVID illness than covid even now!! Please don’t avoid any symptoms - visit a specialist

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

What we've been missing, below the surface, about #COVID19. The focus has been on confirmed cases, hospitalizations and deaths. But there's so much more we've been learning. United States data here

[Siddhartha Mukherjee @DrSidMukherjee]

1/n The observations from
COVID clusters (closed spaces ; crowded areas; close contact — 3Cs) again point to the possibility that viral load matters in exposure. It’s not possible to prove this, but animal models also suggest that viral loads r linked to disease for other viruses

[Siddhartha Mukherjee @DrSidMukherjee]

2/n Masks are effective in decreasing viral loads even when they are imperfect. Again, there’s moderate to strong evidence for this, even in Covid, as well as other respiratory viruses

[Sudhanwa Pathak MBBS @pathaksudh]

Quarantine is for WELL people who were presumed to be or definitely in contact with cases.
Done for longer than maximum incubation period

Isolation is for CASES ( people who are suspected clinically till proven) or ( proven cases.)
Done upto the point of no risk to others.

[Axel Grothey @agrothey]

With all attention rightfully on #COVID19 we should not forget the needs, despair and hopes of our cancer patients. Oncology in the time of COVID19 carries unique challenges. Our patients are on the front line - we need to share info. Kudos to #ccc19 #OncoAlert

[Mark Lewis, MD, FASCO @marklewismd]

I am an oncologist.

I tell people they have cancer.

I tell some people they are dying of cancer.

I am used to seeing fear in people’s eyes.

I have never seen this much terror, so many grappling with their own mortality.

Hope the party in Daytona Beach was worth it.

@nature @Naturepub @NatureGenet @NatureComms @NatureBiotech @nresearchnews The wealth of data was put into a deep neural network to classify #cancer origin (unknown primary site clinically ~3-5% of the time) w/ 91% accuracy

Profound words from a true legend

[Axel Grothey @agrothey]

To the oncology Twitterverse: there is a great interest in the RegoNivo combo for mCRC and it is used outside of clinical trials. Would it make sense to collect the data on these pts centrally to obtain more evidence. A novel concept, needs IRB, of course. Interest? #OncoAlert
