13 years ago my mother passed from colon cancer. I feel very fortunate for the opportunity to contribute to this work in preclinical models of colorectal cancer. This is why I’m in #science

@TheWistar’s Murphy lab developed a novel #HSP70 inhibitor that targets #mitochondria and induces immune cell recruitment in preclinical models of colorectal cancer. https://t.co/CV0Q5dgh5J @CR_AACR #WistarScience

Practiced my talk on the way to dropping my daughter off at daycare. I think she nodded her head a few times in agreement, or maybe that was the result of the stroller on a bumpy sidewalk

The mentoring I received from @WellenLab gave me the confidence to pursue a PhD. Had a blast during PREP #WomenInScience

It's International #WomenInScience Day.
I have been fortunate to be mentored by a great scientist @WellenLab and I enthusiastically advocate for #WomenInSTEM

@bensalus @ABuford17 Thanks for the vocab! Definitely gonna use this now

[Kirstin Tindal @Kirstindal]

Seven years ago I sat in a hospital as the doctor uttered those words, ‘I’m sorry, there’s no heartbeat’. Today I started my PhD in stillbirth/preterm research at that same hospital... because a mother’s love never dies. #ForAurora

Anybody else drink more coffee on the weekends then during the work week?

[Joshua Parris @jparr03]

Naaa man, I’m in and out. There must be a rut with my tracks cause I follow the same path every time 😂 then again I also do all of the cooking and meal prep

When We (MEN) go to the grocery store, we never have a plan.....We just walk up and down each aisle and grab what grabs our attention.

Very very thankful for an amazing thesis committee who is supportive, encouraging and asks thoughtful questions/proposes experiments to help improve my research. Full steam ahead 🚂 🧬

[Oded Rechavi @OdedRechavi]

There’s a myth that scientists are awkward, uncoordinated and not athletic. I bet that’s not true & perhaps there’s even an enrichment for people who are good at sports (over achievers in general). If you’re a scientist, did you ever do any sport at a high level? Please elaborate

@tylerjcoyle @cmasta61 You almost have to reply like that right? Haha
