Why do kids get cancer at such a young age? Sometimes we find a mutant gene that runs in the family. Often not.

This 💎 of a paper from @vanallenlab.bsky.social and Riaz Gillani finds new causes of #childhoodcancer. This is worth your time!

The single best career advice that I give PhDs is that there are multiple different pathways to success. It is the detours that make your insights unique. This is why @immunolcellbiol.bsky.social made #PathwaysToSuccess - get inspired from different journeys!

“Women leave academia at higher rates than men at EVERY stage..” As someone building a career in academia, I’ve often felt the weight of this reality. The lack of women in leadership positions and as role models in my field is disheartening. We must do better!
Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, a #ScienceAdvances analysis finds.
Gender and retention patterns among U.S. faculty
Women faculty are more likely to leave their jobs than men, most often due to workplace climate, rather than work-life balance.
