I am looking for post-doctoral fellows interested in inherited and somatic genetics of various cancer types, including hereditary/breast ovarian #BRCA, testicular cancer #TCGT, melanoma #Melanoma and intersection of cancer immunology/genetics - @PennBPP please RT

@lindseykbyrne How about in your Uber ride?

@AshaniTW My daughters were shell shocked by college food, so you need to make a bad meal every now and then to toughen yours up 😀

The best thing you can do for your testicles is give them a bit of a feel each month or so, and if something doesn’t seem right, head to the doctor. It’s easy to forget about keeping track of your health. But we’re here to help: https://t.co/1u8cw4VZ6f

[Katherine Nathanson @KLNathanson]

Although extraordinarily self-evident good to reinforce the message

[NYT Science @NYTScience]

Most women who carry a mutation linked to a high risk of inherited breast cancer would go undetected by 23andMe’s genetic test, a study suggests. https://t.co/olzoafO74F

I’m finishing up my fourth grant in as many months. Long haul and fingers crossed. What really strikes me is the fantastic collaborations that I have been able to be part of. I owe it all to everyone else.

@GENES_PK I feel pretty strongly about the Dr. XXXX as I think it reduces bias

Did you know about ‘Vas Madness’ the uptick in number of vasectomies during March Madness? Common enough that I when I mentioned to a colleague....... yep you got it

[NYT Science @NYTScience]

In the United States, female sterilization is twice as common as vasectomy https://t.co/s68rtn4Dst

#AACR19 come and see @aka_Islander present on Monday at 4 for the Testicular Cancer Consortium! 20 new loci!!!

[Katherine Nathanson @KLNathanson]

Looking forward to it!

[Katherine Nathanson @KLNathanson]

I look forward to seeing you in Chicago!
