@VitanzaNick @DKFZ @KiTZ_HD The honor was all ours, @VitanzaNick . Thanks for the excellent talk, and for the fantastic work you’re doing in the #CARTcell field for childhood #braintumor patients. And sorry for keeping you up so late :) !

[David Jones @dtwjones]

Congrats @anthony_lpy, @bryankli, Elke Pfaff & @b_gudenas! And many thanks to colleagues @RBTCSickKids, @StJudeResearch, @KiTZ_HD et al. for contributing to our international consensus molecular classification of pineal #braintumors / #pineoblastoma. https://t.co/C7G55o4a6n

Zum gestrigen #Kinderkrebstag organisierte der Elternverein "Aktion für krebskranke Kinder e.V. Heidelberg" gestern Abend eine wunderschöne Überraschung für die jungen Patienten am #KiTZ_HD 👫🧡 Vielen #Dank 👏🙏

10 children and teenagers are diagnosed with a brain tumour every week in the UK, that's more than one a day. Knowing the signs and symptoms could really make a difference. @HeadSmartUK is here to help. https://t.co/APIlcjW6NV

@Bando_Lab @DKFZ Thanks Mimi! The credit really goes to Daniel Haag from the groups of Marius Werning @Stanford and Stefan Pfister @KiTZ_HD @DKFZ, but glad to have contributed a small part to this really interesting #glioma #oncohistone study!

[Michael Baumann, MD @_MichaelBaumann]

Excellent opportunity - looking forward to your applications

[Sahm Lab @sahm_lab]

Important work from Damian Stichel and Annika Wefers, and many collaborators, on fusion calling in our array and panel-seq data, benchmarking and further improving our analysis pipelines. @HdNeurooncology @KiTZ_HD @DKFZ @uniklinik_hd

[David Jones @dtwjones]

Sadly not quite the same atmosphere as a real Christmas party, but huge thanks to my group for being good sports at our virtual Glühwein/Bingo night yesterday. And many thanks for all of your hard work and dedication throughout this challenging year 👍🏻 . @DKFZ @KiTZ_HD

[David Jones @dtwjones]

A new study with our friends and collaborators @sahm_lab shows that clear cell meningiomas are molecularly distinct from other MNG, with pathognomonic (& often germline) mutations in the #SWISNF component SMARCE1.

[Sahm Lab @sahm_lab]

Our new paper on clear cell meningiomas is out: https://t.co/jLAxHruKLJ
Were really surprised to find this subtype so epigenetically different from all other meningioma variants. Thanks to all contributors @HdNeurooncology @uniklinik_hd @UniHeidelberg @DKFZ @KiTZ_HD and beyond!

Congratulations and ありがとうございました to @ki212ncc and colleagues for hosting a fantastic hybrid #ISPNO2020 meeting https://t.co/lVTBpkjdKz. Honored to be invited to give the pediatric low-grade #glioma keynote. Really a shame not to be able to join in person 🇯🇵 !

[Koichi Ichimura @ki212ncc]

#ISPNO2020 Conference site is now ready! https://t.co/IMf6oLnAsn Live streaming and On-Demand Program will start on Sunday December 13. The Program book is also available for download https://t.co/PQ5mgFvu92
Please join us at ISPNO2020!

Good progress being made overall, but big disparities across cancer types. Major improvements for e.g. lung ♂️and breast ♀️, but sadly almost none in #braincancer – one of the top causes of years of life lost despite being rarer than many other cancers. Work still to be done!

[EFPIA @EFPIA]

The number of potential years of working life lost due to cancer in Europe has decreased since 1995. #WeWontRest until everyone in Europe who is touched by cancer, can look forward with hope and optimism #EUCancerPlan https://t.co/GJFD6SvRLY

Great series of lectures on #ChildhoodCancer from @AlexsLemonade, continuing with Cassie Kline on clinical trials for pediatric #braintumors. Previous lectures available online, with some fantastic speakers - go check them out!

[Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation @AlexsLemonade]

On 12/3, Cassie Kline, MD of @ChildrensPhila will share an overview of clinical trials for pediatric central nervous system tumors, findings of recent contemporary trials, and future directions that clinical trials are taking to improve outcomes - https://t.co/0i22B3Z1vd

Happy to have been part of this great new study from the Jabado & @ClaudiaKleinman labs @mcgillu. Intriguing new insights into the origins and drivers behind histone 3 G34-mut #pediatric high-grade #glioma. Congrats Carol Chen, @shriyadeshmukh3 @selinjessa @djidjijdajdah et al!
