The best thing you can do for your testicles is give them a bit of a feel each month or so, and if something doesn’t seem right, head to the doctor. It’s easy to forget about keeping track of your health. But we’re here to help: movember.com/tcam-so
Although extraordinarily self-evident good to reinforce the message
Most women who carry a mutation linked to a high risk of inherited breast cancer would go undetected by 23andMe’s genetic test, a study suggests. nyti.ms/2Xw8mBH
I’m finishing up my fourth grant in as many months. Long haul and fingers crossed. What really strikes me is the fantastic collaborations that I have been able to be part of. I owe it all to everyone else.

Great new study from Alex Huang in the lab showing just how rapidly anti-PD-1 can reinvigorate exhausted CD8 T cells and cause robust anti-tumor effects in a subset of melanoma patients. #Immunotherapy @Penn_IFI @penncancer nature.com/articles/s41591-0…
The diagram I made for my team to explain why the mutation that the clinical lab called as a secondary finding pathogenic should be called a VUS. Wouldn’t trigger NMD. Have to counsel family now. #Genetics thoughts
