@manjuggm @SinaAzadMD @YS_Yichen Thank you so much for supporting the Early-Onset Cancers team!! We were actually wandering around trying to find the start line, so started a bit later than planned.

Congrats on your great talk today, and hope to meet you next time 😊

[Ruiyi Tian @RuiyiT]

Really happy we got to run the 5K together today to support cancer research! Nothing better than crossing the finish line with friends. @SinaAzadMD @YS_Yichen

[Ruiyi Tian @RuiyiT]

@manjuggm @yincaoScD @AACR That’s wonderful to hear! Can’t wait to see you both there!

📣 Calling all colleagues & friends attending AACR25 — researchers, clinicians & advocates! 🔬
Join our team “RACE: Research Against Cancers of Early-Onset” at the @AACR Runners for Research 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, April 26 in Chicago. @AACRFoundation

[Ruiyi Tian @RuiyiT]

Let’s run or walk together to support early-onset cancer research and raise awareness! 💥

📍Race starts 7:30 AM at the Chicago Firefighters & Paramedic Memorial (SE of McCormick Place Lakeside Center).
👥 Team meet-up: 7:15 AM

Numbers exist only in our minds. There is no physical entity that is number 1. If there were, 1 would be in a place of honor in some great museum of science, and past it would file a steady stream of mathematicians gazing at 1 in wonder and awe.

- John B. Fraleigh, mentioned in Linear Algebra (1995)

[Physics In History @PhysInHistory]

We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it and that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. And we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress.

- J. Robert Oppenheimer

[Dr Ellie Murray, ScD @EpiEllie]

People often think the most important part of science is the statistical analysis.

But they’re wrong.

The most important part is understanding the data. Who collected it, when, where, why, how, and from whom? Who entered and cleaned it, when, where, why, how, and for whom?

[AACR @AACR]

The #AACR24 press program kicks off this morning. Shivaani Kummar, MD monitors the first of three sessions with studies presented by Ruiyi Tian, MPH, Vinod Balachandran, MD, Jiafu Ji, and Edward Cliff.

[Siteman Cancer Center @SitemanCenter]

@WUSTLmed researcher @YinCaoScD, of Siteman Cancer Center, is leading an international team seeking to understand the global increase in early-onset #colorectalcancer. They received a $25M grant from @CancerGrand, co-founded by @CR_UK and @theNCI.

First claimed successful replication of LK-99

Accomplished by a team at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology and posted 30 minutes ago.

Why this is evidence:
The LK-99 flake slightly levitates for both orientations of the magnetic field, meaning it is not simply a magnetized piece of iron or similar 'magnetic material'. A simple magnetic flake would be attracted to one polarity of the strong magnet, and repelled by the other. A diamagnet would be repelled under either orientation, since it resists and expels all fields regardless of the polarity.

Caveats
There is no way to verify the orientation of the strong magnet in this video, also, there are yet to be published experimental measured values of this sample. Diamagnetism is a property of superconductors but without measured and verified data, this is just suggestive of a result.

Take-away
If this synthesis was indeed successful, then this material is easy enough to be made by labs other than the original research team. I would watch carefully for results out of Argonne National Lab, who are reported to be working on their own synthesis of a sample.

This overall corroborates two independent simulation studies that investigated the original Korean authors claim about material and crystal structure, and both studies supported the claims.

The attached video shows a small flake of their sample responding to an external magnetic field. I scroll through the video to skip to the relevant part.
