Thursday keynote at #MathOnco25 with @robjohnnoble.bsky.social showing a wealth of #MathOnco models of cancer evolution and evolutionary-enlightened therapies. Notice the bingo card: he showed enough different math models to fill up the card!

Fantastic to have adaptive therapy pioneer Jingsong Zhang here at #MathOnco25 talking about a third-generation adaptive therapy trial for metastatic prostate cancer underway at the Moffitt Cancer Center, informed by Jill Gallagher's mathematical modelling. Preprint: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

As federal funding for research is uncertain, we need to diversify funding sources for our PhD students.

Here is a comprehensive list of >160 PhD fellowships and funding opportunities, mostly from private foundations and scientific societies.

My beautiful little sister died two weeks ago from metastatic breast cancer. The idea that anyone thinks they can justify cuts to such research is horrifying to me. I want fewer people to have to experience the pain our family is feeling right now from losing someone so young.

Can cancer treatment learn from infectious disease strategies? Our research explores the trade-offs between controlling tumors vs. eradicating them, applying insights from infectious disease dynamics.
