I can’t begin to describe how meaningful this Honor is…and on this book, which I wrote at my daughter’s bedside over the course of 21 rounds of chemotherapy. STRONGER AT THE SEAMS is my debut YA novel, and I will forever be grateful to everyone who helped make this book—and this honor—happen. 💛🎗️💛

🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area.
Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.

My daughter made Top 60 in Original Spoken Word Poetry, in a speech about a topic painfully close to her heart: childhood cancer.
C, I am so proud of you. Keep fighting, girl. Keep bringing awareness.
Be the change, baby. 🎗️

Yes, below. (I am a PhD, not an MD). This work does not get done anywhere else. It's not financially lucrative enough. We invest in pediatric cancer research as a *society* because that work does not get done otherwise. Hard impacts to MDs especially: bench research can't be done in private practice
There’s no clear mechanism for getting the public to understand. My spouse is a pediatric cancer researcher. People have said to her “if NIH funding runs out you can just get a job in private practice.” There IS NO private practice for most pediatric cancer work. It’s all publicly-funded research.
