There are exciting developments to come with the transition of the world renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to BIDMC, and we stand to be at the forefront of state-of-the-art management of neuroimmunologic complications of checkpoint inhibitors, CART, BTKi, and other therapies.

Congrats to the MIT graduates today! Proud of my alma mater! 🧠👏
Thank you @MIT for an amazing almost-decade 🥹❤️🦫💻. From frantically running down dorm row as a freshman always late to class, to rolling down chairs in the underground tunnels, to writing two theses while overlooking the Charles…I’m honored that MIT is the place I was able to grow into a (slightly more) mature woman and now a Doctor! Especially thankful to the @medialab, my advisors @cynthiabreazeal @MaartenSap, all the lifelong friends I’ve made here, and to my family 🥰

Such a heart-warming story 🧡
Fernando Mendoza knows what really matters. As the #1 draft pick, he skipped the live ceremony to celebrate at home with his mom, Elsa, whose MS makes travel difficult. The biggest moments are about who you share them with. Watch the full story from @NBCNews:
