“We realize there is a knowledge gap about how BRCA affects men because most research and awareness efforts for BRCA have focused on women.” Learn what men should know about #BRCA from @KMaxwellLab. @BasserBRCA @PennCancer spr.ly/6011OXSoB

I’m going to double down on this.
We need staff scientist positions in academic research to carry load and train technical skills. Competent staff are essential for faculty success = grant funding. Stop building new buildings and staff them instead.

#ASCO2022 Destiny-04. ILD as expected. My thoughts: best in show for breast cancer this year. HER2-low now on the table for ADCs as a class. There is an accompanying NEJM paper. The audience goes wild in a way I have not seen since the HER2 2005 rock concert. Congrats to Dr Modi.

I love the approach of resetting the clock for breast cancer suggested Susan Domchek: is basically the same I use with alarm in the morning… very very paradigmatic change in prevention
