Don't let work become a habit because you've forgotten how to live any other way. And don't judge colleagues who work less hard. The ultimate 'duty of care' is to yourself. Pinching myself to remember! @AcademicSurgery @ELAMProgram #WorkLifeBalance xitter.cf/HarvardBiz/status/9604…
There’s a better way to work — and live

In one of the hardest NCI funding cycles in decades, these institutions remained R01 powerhouses
Full FY'26 dataset in 🧵 below
MD Anderson: 131 R01s (55% of portfolio), UCSF: 91, , Penn: 83 (highest R01 %), MSK: 76 (37% R01s but heavy on K-awards)
Across the top 20 institutions: 1,223 R01 records, which is ~36% of the national total
Huge congrats to the PIs, labs & research teams keeping cancer discovery moving forward🎗️
