This morning my tea had an important message. This is important for not only early-career researchers but all researchers no matter where you’re at in your journey. It took great effort and courage to get to where you are! Think of how much you learned!! #research #science #AACR #AACRECR #AACRAMC

We want to take a moment to talk about tariffs because honestly, we didn’t realize how bad it was getting until we started comparing notes with friends and family. Stores across the country are already raising prices, and some of the increases are steep.

@theaacr.bsky.social #AACR2025 I was honored to co-chair the “microRNAs and other noncoding RNAs” session at AACR Chicago. Fantastic talks about small molecule inhibitors and novel targets regulating miRNA function/EV transport and lincRNA activity that could lead to novel RNA medicine for cancer.
