For the first time in more than 70 years, women took the field in a professional baseball game. Dreams that generations fought for are finally becoming reality. Here’s to every girl who has ever been told, “Baseball isn’t for you.” Keep proving them wrong💪 #WomensSports #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

Amazing bioarchaeology workshop at Durham University helping research early medieval remains from Digventures’s excavations on Lindisfarne. I’ve been learning osteological techniques and applying them in the lab by laying out a skeleton and estimating biological sex, age, stature, and pathology

the most realistic scene in Jurassic Park is when two scientists make a questionable decision — traveling to an undisclosed location with a strange man — on the promise of three years of modest funding

Learning (or rather, being reminded) about the importance of patient advocacy in the Susan G. Women Foundation, Patient Advocate Panel. Thanks to the advocates who work tirelessly to support/promote cancer research and remind scientists of our "why" #MRS2026

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TING!!! How can you go wrong with a bit of sun and a Mitchell’s ice cream cone? Great choice, Ting!

Saturday I had the opportunity to attend Netball Australia's Adelaide Thunderbirds vs Queensland Firebirds PLAY4PINK round, raising money for breast cancer research together with principal charity partner The Hospital Research Foundation Group, and speak on a panel with Ali Clarke and Paul Flynn.

I've been fortunate to have @marcoenriquez18.bsky.social a #materialsChemist in my team. Cytoskeletal elements are often studied on their own but in reality, the #cytoskeleton is biopolymer network that is intricately intertwined. (#Award winning movie Light Microscopy Aus). @aibnatuq.bsky.social

Has anyone figured out how to 'easily' convert traditional (Word) NIH Biosketches into ScienCV formatted versions without spending hours on the clunking web interface? I spent a couple hours on the ScienCV website, but there must be a better way, especially for a many PI T32 submission. Thx 🧪

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funds over 300,000 researchers at more than 2,500 institutions across all 50 U.S. states, supporting roughly 390,863 jobs and driving $94 billion in economic activity. I am one of them and am thankful to all who pay the taxes that support this enterprise 🧪

Mark Peifer (He, him)@peiferlabunc.bsky.social · 4mo ago

As American's file taxes on #TaxDay, I am one of those who benefits. #NIH has funded our lab's discovery based research for 34 years. We contributed to understanding how cells chose fate & shape tissues and organs, & work in our field gave insights into colorectal cancer and cancer metastasis 1/n

Walked past a poster advertising Domino's new "nine-cheese penne" and I an not ashamed to admit I spent a fair amount of time trying to figure out what nine cheeses they sell claim to use

Trust me--read this. You'll be glad you did. and thank you Dr. Bennet for writing it. 🧪

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.

A great tribute to a pioneering researcher who discovered fundamental insights into signaling, gene function and cancer. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/22/o...

Devastated to learn of the passing of the great cancer pioneer J. Michael Bishop. Mentor and friend, it was only a few weeks ago we celebrated his 90th birthday. He taught us that the seeds of cancer lie within us and spent his career combating cancer. 🧪 @ucsfcancer.bsky.social
