Anyone with K-12 students/children have unmet science education needs during this time? I’d love to know what the unmet needs are in terms of science outreach!

My first postdoc paper out today in @nature. Alcohol-derived acetate is rapidly deposited onto histones in the brain, influencing gene expression and behavior. Potential implications for alcohol use disorder. @berger_lab @PennEpiInst @PennCDB https://t.co/ioqYwdyIGf

Check our new collaboration with @EJohnWherry at @PennEpiInst on #tcellexhaustion and the role TOX plays in it https://t.co/ORdIs7BJWo

[Sierra Collins @lettherebedata]

First time my name has ever appeared on a real scientific paper! Check out our epigenetic analysis of TOX in #tcellexhaustion https://t.co/FCejPRb1Df

@charlyryangood and I are at the CAR-T and rise of Cellicon Valley Symposium and it meant so much to me to see a (male) leader in the field show this slide

A cancer patient had an exceptional response to #immunotherapy. Researchers suggest a type of genetic changed called gene fusion may have influenced the positive response. Via @sloan_kettering https://t.co/943gtp3P1A

The @smithcollege Summer Science and Engineering Program for high school girls got me interested in a career in science...here I am paying it forward right here at Penn!

Today we are teaching Philly high school girls about proteins and #epigenetics #PARS @PennEpiInst @lettherebedata @enrique_lins @laceyjluense

Can't say this really surprises me...

④ Did you know that 66% of PICI's leadership is female? And we're proud of it. 👩🏻‍🔬For International Women’s Day, we featured one of the world’s foremost researchers in cancer #immunotherapy, PICI co-director Padmanee Sharma @MDAndersonNews. #PICIBirthday 🎂https://t.co/C7IgWUnu7d

[Parker Institute @parkerici]

Wondering who the next Jim Allison will be? Look no farther than the PICI Young Investigator Retreat, where we brought together some of the brightest young minds in #immunotherapy research. Check out our recap 1/3: https://t.co/6SOoTS0VMB
