I am honored that my paper was selected as @AACR @CRC_AACR Editor's Pick! Extremely thankful for all of the help I had doing this work.
Check out the latest Editors' Pick: Intratumoral Virus-Like Particles Containing a TLR9 Agonist Combined with Systemic αPD-1 Activate Tumor-Specific CD8+ T Cells doi.org/10.1158/2767-9764.CR…
Spent the day on Capitol Hill to support @NIH and @theNCI funding! If you haven't already, contact your representatives and tell them Biomedical research saves lives.

Early-career cancer researchers are on Capitol Hill today, highlighting the vital importance of federal funding to accelerate progress against cancer and other diseases. Add your voice to this critical cause by contacting your members of Congress today: brnw.ch/21wQYMV
I am excited to be participating in Hill Day again this year! Now more than ever, it is important to let our representatives know that funding for science is a top priority.

Tomorrow is the 10th Annual AACR Early Career Hill Day. Eighteen AACR Associate Members are gathering on Capitol Hill to ask Congress to support the next generation of cancer researchers. At this crucial time, make your voice heard: AACR.org/NIH #AACRontheHill #FundNIH

The Trump administration's efforts to slash research funding have US graduate students, postdocs and other early-career scientists fearing for their careers. Some are considering changing jobs or leaving the country. Others say them might abandon research altogether.

NIH grants drive more than $92.89 billion in economic activity across all 50 U.S. states and DC. It is estimated that every dollar of NIH funding generates $2.46 dollars of economic activity. So what you are bragging about is a more than $22 B hit to local economies across the US
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

Feeling nostalgic this morning as Director Emeritus Dr. George Weiner proudly holds the official letter that first declared us a 'comprehensive' cancer center by @theNCI. As we approach 25 years, we reflect on the incredible strides the center has made!
Glad I got to present another poster at the annual @UIowaCancer HCCC retreat! Proud to rep the @UICancerBiology program! Now on to year 4 of my PhD!

Today is the AACR Early-Career National Day of Action, and we're calling on early-career scientists, trainees, students, and all who support them to contact members of Congress and ask them to prioritize @NIH funding. Take action: AACR.org/AACRECHD24 #AACRontheHill #FundNIH
Ready to start the day on the Hill with members of @AACR advocating for @NIH and @theNCI funding! #AACRontheHill | #FundNIH
