#COVID19 Testing Made Simple: A Thread

Hello friends, I finally finished it! ☺️ A lot of these are really technical but I tried to make this as simple as possible, inserting key molbio concepts every now and then. Let’s learn something new today ✨ #SciComm

Of all the diseases they could come up with, they had to choose osteoarthritis. What the hell, sure 😭

A historic moment at #ASCO26: more than 9,000 oncologists rose for three standing ovations as Brian Wolpin, MD, MPH, Director of the Hale Family Center for Pancreatic Cancer Research, presented promising new Phase 3 results for an investigational treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer.

In the trial, daraxonrasib helped patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer live significantly longer than those who received chemotherapy.

While more work remains, these findings offer something powerful: hope for patients and families facing one of the most challenging cancers.

As Dr. Wolpin said, “It is exciting to see that we may soon be able to help patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer in ways we haven’t been able to before, improving both survival and quality of life.”

Congratulations to the researchers and patients who made this important progress possible. 👏👏👏

[Taylor Swift Updates @TSUpdating]

🚨 Taylor Swift sent a letter and SIGNED guitars to an 8-year-old girl and her neighbor after she saw a video of the kid sending paper airplane to her neighbor, requesting that he play Taylor Swift song!

—The neighbor (Hayes) confirms that out of nowhere, he got a message from Swift's camp on TikTok.

“They're like, 'Hey, Taylor saw your video. We want to send you something. Don't tell anyone until it gets there,' I was expecting maybe a signed poster or something. And then she sent us guitars, which is insane.”

When cure exists but access does not

The gap between what is scientifically possible and what is practically deliverable is widening.

From the perspective of medical oncology, modern oncology is standard care in some places, but still just a congress slide in many others🌏🌎🌍

One week na kinulong ang isang matanda dahil lang nagtatrabaho siya para sa kanyang apo.

Samantalang si Bato, na may kaso sa ICC, prinotektahan pa sa Senado.

Ngayon nyo sabihin na patas ang batas sa Pilipinas.

‘HOW DID WE REACH THIS LOW LEVEL OF PUBLIC SERVICE?’

Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas decried the recent political developments, including the Senate leadership change on Monday, in a pastoral letter released Thursday.

“It is confusing. It is unbelievable. It is pathetic. It is disgusting. It is shameless. How did we reach this low level of public service?” Villegas wrote.

He also urged the faithful to pray and actively seek political change, and to vote more wisely in the next elections.

All this chaos.

Just to protect the Dutertes and their allies.

The country has sacrificed too much—our institutions, our democracy, and far too many lives—for the survival of people who believe they are above accountability.
