Can you tell we’re excited by mitochondria? #RadRes2022 #prouddad #raddad @TaniguchiMD

Apparently Bill Simpson, longtime Collections Manager of fossil vertebrates at the ⁦@FieldMuseum⁩ in Chicago, is retiring. Bill has always been so helpful, including pulling out the skull of ⁦@SUEtheTrex⁩ for study. Happy Retirement, Bill! 🎥: ⁦@ecagg15⁩

35 years ago day @SUEtheTrex (FMNH PR 2081) was discovered by Sue Hendrickson. Few dinosaur specimens are as impressive, and our team has had the privilege of studying the original fossils & CT scan data many times. As always, thanks go to the @FieldMuseum for their support! 🦖

Had a fantastic time presenting my research at #RadRes2024 @RRS_RadRes ! Always exciting to see new FLASH research, make new connections and lab bonding (including a VERY competitive water slide competition). I even ran my first 5k since undergrad and explored Sabino Canyon

@_KarenWeinberg Congrats!! Still waiting for my turn 🥲

[Emily (Caggiano) Rieff @ecagg15]

@kevansf’s talk on the past and future of targeting KRAS was such hot stuff it set off the fire alarm and caused a building evacuation #AACR24

[Emily (Caggiano) Rieff @ecagg15]

Great talk by Andrew Aguirre discussing the role of EMT in KRAS resistance in PDAC #AACR24

[Emily (Caggiano) Rieff @ecagg15]

You may be cool, but you will never be “Nobel laureate Jim Allison absolutely shredding on a harmonica with his band of amazing scientists” cool. Favorite conference memory in a long time! #AACR24

[Emily (Caggiano) Rieff @ecagg15]

Personally I think it’s super cool to see talks given by researchers whose papers I’ve continually read over the years, today I got that with Steven Rosenberg! #AACR24

[Emily (Caggiano) Rieff @ecagg15]

Finally back for the first time since my undergraduate days at #AACR2024. Excited to learn from and network with leaders at the cutting edge of cancer research and present my research

[Emily (Caggiano) Rieff @ecagg15]

Bittersweet first, first-author paper is out today. This review has been a rollercoaster and I wish I could share it with Cullen, but I knew how proud he was that it got accepted, and how proud he would be that I navigated the process without him. https://t.co/RgTF3L0Alv

@VBahrambeigi @Aiims1742 @skopetz @jpshen_md @MDA_UTHGrad @UTGSBSGnE Wooohooooo congrats!!!! 🎉🎊🍾🎈

[Emily (Caggiano) Rieff @ecagg15]

@TaniguchiMD gave me bottles of red wine as payment for house sitting. My fiancée and I opened one Monday to celebrate a paper acceptance and a promising F31 score. Seems only fitting to finish it now. He knew what graduate students really wanted for their services 😅🤍🍷

[Emily (Caggiano) Rieff @ecagg15]

@DrMariSea Thank you, and same goes for you

[Emily (Caggiano) Rieff @ecagg15]

I will forever cherish your mentorship not just in science, but in life. Thank you for helping me love science again when I really wanted to hate it forever, and for all our jokes and roasting. I have now lost 2 PhD mentors this year, and I have no more words

[Anirban Maitra @Aiims1742]

It’s been 24 hours since I heard the news but it still feels unreal.
Goodbye my friend, the one and only Sensei Taniguchi. I am 💔 - most importantly for his young family, but also his wonderful mentees whom he cherished and his colleagues.
@TaniguchiMD rest in peace 🙏🏽

[Emily (Caggiano) Rieff @ecagg15]

Yesterday I gave my first in-person oral presentation of graduate school and it had a LOT of negative data. Thank you to @TAPatGSBS @MDA_UTHGrad for being so supportive of a transparent talk about how projects develop and change drastically during a PhD

Pippin to Frodo when they're back home in the Shire:

For the last fucking time, thawing 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes.

@TaniguchiMD WHAT IS THE MITOCHONDRIA

[Emily (Caggiano) Rieff @ecagg15]

One of my favorite days of the year!!

[MD Anderson-UTH Grad @MDA_UTHGrad]

GSRD Poster Sessions are in full swing! Stop by and ask a student about their research, and stay for the Oral Presentations and Elevator Speeches!
