I worry we will have more political violence. If the effect of recent events is that enough people believe that leaders are unaccountable kings, they may choose alternatives to the democratic process. Just because violence is the loser's veto doesn't mean it has never worked.

I truly can’t wait for you to join us at #ASCO24. It promises to be a vibrant platform to share groundbreaking research, foster collaboration, and advance our mission to conquer cancer. See you in Chicago!

It’s a wrap: #ASCOAdvocacysummit Great to be with star team of advocates for #cancer care/research: ⁦@lynn_schuchter⁩ ⁦@Carolyn01392093⁩ ⁦@epbalaban⁩ Kristina Novick Important to build relationships with legislators/staff, tell our stories, focus on patients.

Scenes from #ASCOAdvocacySummit where we’re urging Congress to help end #drugshortages, support robust federal research funding, and expand telehealth. Inspired by the unwavering dedication of our advocates. Add your voice using the @ASCO ACT Network: ASCO.org/ACTnetwork

Cancer patients cannot afford to delay treatment due to #drugshortages. @repdean, please work with your colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address these shortages. #ASCOAdvocacy

@MarilynHeineMD @PAMEDSociety Saddened to hear this news...Dr. Mitchell was recently honored as mentioned by PAMED with the Distinguished Service Award...a genuine trailblazer for our profession for sure....

Tragic loss. Dr. Edith Mitchell, recipient of the 2023 Distinguished Service Award from @PAMEDSociety tinyurl.com/92ak6r5z among other honors, will be missed very much. She was a wonderful leader, mentor, and oncologist. phillytrib.com/obituaries/edi…

25 years ago @AnnPartridgeMD &Sue Moran were my interns @PennMedicine @PennCancer on inpatient onc service. @AngieDemichele was the fellow. This was rare- an all women team. 2 weeks ago I was on the same service, an all women team- happens all the time. Progress.
