Science is better when we work together. Such a treat to host the amazing scientists from @VitanzaNick Lab, and hope to do this more! All are welcome

[Nick Vitanza @VitanzaNick]

Grateful for the hospitality of @CHOPCancerCntr this week as the @FosterJb Lab hosted 3 of our scientists. Learning new techniques & strengthening collaborations. Look forward to visiting @ChildrensPhila myself in a few days. #EndDIPG #StrongerTogether

Beyond thrilled for you Katí @kkariko!! This is so incredibly well deserved, I haven’t been able to stop smiling all day

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.”

Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges.

Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.

Listen now:

I joined the CHOP Cancer Crushers in the Parkway Run & Walk presented by Citadel on 9/24. Every dollar we raise will fuel breakthrough cancer research & care at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Can't make it? Consider making a donation https://t.co/VMwjl0Wz5Z #ParkwayRun

Celebrated a legend last night: @kkariko Beyond honored to be her guest. Hoping to emulate her dedication and also change the world one mRNA at a time.

Amazing as always to hear the incredible @LisaWardspeakup speak today at the White House. Honored to have been invited to join the BrainStorm Summit and @CureFestUSA . For all of the patients out there, past present and future, we won’t stop

@Heitzeneder_S I should probably clarify- have not accepted a faculty position, just hiring for now :)

[Jessica Foster @FosterJb]

The Foster lab is hiring! Come join an exciting, energetic lab at an amazing institution exploring CAR T cells for pediatric brain tumors #CART #pediatriccancer #braintumors https://t.co/PKYBYwQiCq

Hahaha looks like me... The message: please always wear lab coat and safety googles!

@VitanzaNick The feeling is mutual my friend. I’m going to start playing LCD soundsystem in the background of all our zoom meetings until you move back to the east coast
