If you are in Medical school or planning on going to Medical school

And you would not provide medical care because someone is gay or trans or whatever

Go into finance

Or anything else

Medicine is not for you

@DenverPolice @costreetnews Was this in relation to the police chase that happened and damaged/disabled a car at 36th and Central Park? There were a lot of unmarked police vehicles in pursuit of a sedan and they turned down 36th toward Roslyn.

We are pleased to announce our manuscript on pan-cancer multi-PIK3CA mutations, published this week in @CCR_AACR.

Hospital / clinic parking fees ➡️ financial burden for pts + caregivers.
- Not the 1st study to report this
- Drives disparities
- May create access issues for specialized centers in cities
How to offset?

@CRC_AACR @ONealCancerUAB Looks like great work, but unfortunately this isn’t mine.

[Mohamed Abazeed, MD, PhD @theabzlab]

Here we go! Excited to share out latest contribution: The mutational landscape of cancer's vulnerability to ionizing radiation. A herculean project that inscribes, for the first time at this scale, a cancer radiogenomic atlas. Tweetorial to follow. https://t.co/bB8jGjfsMJ

[Denis Wirtz @deniswirtz]

We updated our database and now list 385 postdoc fellowship opportunities (w/ description, deadline, amount, eligibility, etc).

Getting one means a lot more freedom to do the work you want to do.

[Jason Sheltzer @JSheltzer]

New from my lab: we show that a clinical-stage oncology drug from Eli Lilly is mischaracterized, and its true anti-cancer target is EGFR. We also show how in vitro drug assays can be misleading - cellular+genetic methods are needed to determine drug MOAs.
