Excited to see the PROSPECT team featured in Cancer Grand Challenges Discover magazine @CancerGrand!

Grateful for an inspiring week at #AACR25! Learned so much with and from lab mates, collaborators, and new friends. Honored to receive the Women in Cancer Research Scholar Award. Deepest thanks to my dear mentor @yincaoScD for your unwavering support ❤️

If you are interested in the epidemiology of risk factors driving early-onset cancers and attending #AACR2025, please stop by my poster in section 42 on Wednesday April 30. #AACR25 #PROSPECT

@manjuggm @SinaAzadMD @YS_Yichen Thank you so much for supporting the Early-Onset Cancers team!! We were actually wandering around trying to find the start line, so started a bit later than planned. Congrats on your great talk today, and hope to meet you next time 😊

@RuiyiT @SinaAzadMD @YS_Yichen Nice! Sorry, we could not meet each other! I supported the Early Onset cancers team as well..

Really happy we got to run the 5K together today to support cancer research! Nothing better than crossing the finish line with friends. @SinaAzadMD @YS_Yichen

@manjuggm @yincaoScD @AACR That’s wonderful to hear! Can’t wait to see you both there!

@yincaoScD @AACR @RuiyiT My son & I plan to be there! we will join you!!

📣 Calling all colleagues & friends attending AACR25 — researchers, clinicians & advocates! 🔬 Join our team “RACE: Research Against Cancers of Early-Onset” at the @AACR Runners for Research 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, April 26 in Chicago. @AACRFoundation

Let’s run or walk together to support early-onset cancer research and raise awareness! 💥 📍Race starts 7:30 AM at the Chicago Firefighters & Paramedic Memorial (SE of McCormick Place Lakeside Center). 👥 Team meet-up: 7:15 AM

Thank you so much for the feature! Grateful to be part of Team PROSPECT—learning, growing, and climbing together as a Future Leader through Cancer Grand Challenges ☺️

Numbers exist only in our minds. There is no physical entity that is number 1. If there were, 1 would be in a place of honor in some great museum of science, and past it would file a steady stream of mathematicians gazing at 1 in wonder and awe. - John B. Fraleigh, mentioned in Linear Algebra (1995)

We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it and that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. And we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress. - J. Robert Oppenheimer

People often think the most important part of science is the statistical analysis. But they’re wrong. The most important part is understanding the data. Who collected it, when, where, why, how, and from whom? Who entered and cleaned it, when, where, why, how, and for whom?

The #AACR24 press program kicks off this morning. Shivaani Kummar, MD monitors the first of three sessions with studies presented by Ruiyi Tian, MPH, Vinod Balachandran, MD, Jiafu Ji, and Edward Cliff.

@WUSTLmed researcher @YinCaoScD, of Siteman Cancer Center, is leading an international team seeking to understand the global increase in early-onset #colorectalcancer. They received a $25M grant from @CancerGrand, co-founded by @CR_UK and @theNCI. medicine.wustl.edu/news/preventin…

I wrote down my rules on how to Science. I hope you find it useful!

First claimed successful replication of LK-99 Accomplished by a team at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology and posted 30 minutes ago. Why this is evidence: The LK-99 flake slightly levitates for both orientations of the magnetic field, meaning it is not simply a magnetized piece of iron or similar 'magnetic material'. A simple magnetic flake would be attracted to one polarity of the strong magnet, and repelled by the other. A diamagnet would be repelled under either orientation, since it resists and expels all fields regardless of the polarity. Caveats There is no way to verify the orientation of the strong magnet in this video, also, there are yet to be published experimental measured values of this sample. Diamagnetism is a property of superconductors but without measured and verified data, this is just suggestive of a result. Take-away If this synthesis was indeed successful, then this material is easy enough to be made by labs other than the original research team. I would watch carefully for results out of Argonne National Lab, who are reported to be working on their own synthesis of a sample. This overall corroborates two independent simulation studies that investigated the original Korean authors claim about material and crystal structure, and both studies supported the claims. Lawrence Berkeley National Lab: arxiv.org/pdf/2307.16892… Shenyang National Lab: arxiv.org/pdf/2307.16040… The attached video shows a small flake of their sample responding to an external magnetic field.

@DrEkenga Thank you so much for your guidance on this project and on the environmental health course!🌹
