Why do some triple negative breast cancer patients respond to anti-PD-L1/PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade, while others do not? We investigated this question nature.com/articles/s41467-0… @goga_lab @UCSFcancer #breastcancer Tweetorial 👇

How does tumor heterogeneity impact #metastasis? I am excited to share our latest pre-print: We used patient derived-xenograft models (PDX) of #breastcancer to examine the contributions of tumor heterogeneity on metastasis at single-cell resolution. doi.org/10.1101/2022.08.04.5… 1/n

"Quietness. I mean you have to think. That's hard work!" A moment of quietness and silence might be just what is needed to spark our creativity. Watch #NobelPrize laureates John Goodenough and Olga Tokarczuk talk about the value of silence. #NobelPrize

Gabriel Waksman was concerned about the carbon emissions he’s helped produce by traveling thousands of air miles. So he set up All Things Small and Green, which allows people to plant trees to offset their carbon footprint. go.nature.com/3bRCAqH
Grad students, when you hear that you should be “independent” you might think that means you can’t ask for help. Quite the opposite. Independent does not mean alone. Independent means taking ownership to think critically, recognize when you need help, and seek it out. #PhDchat

Excited to use try this in my next presentation!
Very proud of what BioRender has become thanks to our amazing team. We built BioRender b/c I saw firsthand how much scientists struggled to draw in PPT. It's bio-focused but we're building out chem, physics & more🙂 Also the base version is free, forever💙 biorender.com/
