The Children's Cancer Data Initiative symposium, scheduled for next week at the NCI, has been cancelled because of the shutdown. This is unfortunate. I was looking forward to hearing all the amazing progress made by so many working to leverage data for pediatric cancer research.

@d4cg.bsky.social is excited to be running a workshop with peds oncologists from all over India to democratize access to rare disease data through community building and data aggregation and harmonization. Thanks to the UChicago Delhi Ctr, Tata Mem. Hosp, Wadia Children's, Rajiv Ghandi Cancer Ctr

It is so exciting to be at the NCI today at the BSA committee meeting. While it wasn't "business as usual," it was very heartening to see most everyone excited about a solid future, where we can continue to improve cancer prevention, morbidity, and mortality.

Tough bring the lone vegan on Thanksgiving.... #vegan

When you get a piano from your landscaper, don't be surprised at the delivery mechanism. #concordelandscaping

I love waking up and seeing our overnight visitors. #Indiana #trailcam

Even when I was 8 years old, people were telling me to slow down. Side note: incredible to find out that Julian Solway and I had the same #Skokie piano teacher! Thanks Jane Hallenstein. #piano

Nacho wants up see what his big brother is eating. Thankfully, Rocco is very patient and gentle. #greatdane #kitten

Pro tip: Don't go to Costco on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The checkout line stretched to the back of the store. The staff was amazing, but it was a madhouse. #costco

Rocco is not sure of his new bed mate...

Look who was hiding in the wood pile. #salamander

Rocco and Rhoda - lazing around. #greatdane #australianshepherd
