Herald Square is the most underrated neighborhood
I don't get why people hate it
- Most convenient area in NYC (B, D, F, M, N, Q, R, 1, 2, 3 & PATH trains) – you can get anywhere in the city within 20 min
- Excellent food (Keen's, Ai Fiori, Noksu, Joo Ok, Rezdora)
- A great meeting spot - probably the geographic center of Manhattan
- Ktown is awesome
- Gyms EVERYWHERE (Equinox, Lifetime, Crunch, Planet Fitness, NYSC, Orange Theory)
- Great coffee all around - possibly the most dense cluster of cafes in Manhattan
- All the grocery stores and shopping you would ever need

Ellen was diagnosed with a rare and hard to treat #ovariancancer. Everything changed when she enrolled in a clinical trial led by Dr. Rachel Grisham, based on a lab discovery years ago by @DSolit.

New Yorkers move fast, so should our trains.
Starting on October 6th, Super Express service launches on the @MetroNorth Hudson Line, months ahead of schedule, with trips under 90 minutes.
This is how we build a stronger, faster, more connected New York.

Scientists conducting medical research are facing an existential crisis: Layoffs and budget cuts pushed by President Trump that, they say, jeopardize finding a cure for cancer.
Ted Koppel talks with cancer patients taking part in clinical trials for treatments and vaccines, whose own contributions to finding a cure are imperiled.

Underway now in the #melanoma rapid oral abstract session at #ASCO25: Sarah E. Lochrin, MBBCh (@LochrinSarah) from @MSKCancerCenter shares interim results from the C-IT Neo trial on single-dose neoadjuvant ipilimumab + nivolumab in resectable melanoma, with CD8+ PET imaging.
➡️ 59% major pathologic response after one dose
➡️ Grade ≥3 treatment-related AEs in just 9%
➡️ CD8+ PET tracer uptake correlated with IHC, but not predictive of response
