Congratulations to the team on this very exciting work!!
Excited to share our new work in PDAC Cachexia. This work demonstrated that addition of factors like advanced age in murine models can uncover signatures that might have been obscured in other models.
Grateful for @jdoles.bsky.social ‘s mentorship and support!
Looking forward to all feedback :)

Had the best week at TREC learning about research gaps in energy balance and cancer and connecting with all of the early career fellows and faculty involved in the program.
Cachexia representation at the NCI TREC Workshop!
A week of interdisciplinary discussions and fun amongst early career researchers. Highly recommend!
The venue did not disappoint either!

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
