@pashtoonkasi @Doc_JinKim @NEJM @OncoAlert Immunotherapy might have a much tougher time when faced with the bulk of tumor rather than "mopping up" residual cells. Also, some of those TILs have suppressor cell features.

@NEJM why would #immunotherapy work better when given before surgery (neoadjuvant) when the tumor is still in the body? 🔪 Resection not only takes bulk of the tumor but also the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. ⬆️T cells to antigens exposure. @OncoAlert #ap2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

If Donald is back on Twitter, I’m out. For a smart guy, Musk doesn’t understand the “social” in social media. Why give a platform to someone incapable of knowing or caring about the truth.

@kjdelay1 Actually, no. If by books, you mean those printed on paper, if that paper is produced from sustainable sources, they actually sequester carbon, and thus might be net positive for the environment.

Honest question: Are books bad for the environment? I mean they have to be right?

@TsengJennifer @acroce66 Doubt

@acroce66 I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie with her in it

FIRST film you think of when you see Amy Adams?

@TsengJennifer @callie_mt Chair letters are like any other; if the Chair actually knows and has worked with or at least interacted with the student, and contribute new knowledge to the assessment of the candidate,they are valuable. If not, then not so much.

@callie_mt Hey!

Absolutely!

@ThaddeusPope Ah, Thad, that’s the rub. CPR was (1) never designed to prolong dying at the end of life, and (2) is far less effective than generally assumed by the lay public or seen on TV. It rarely returns the patient to their pre-morbid state.

@ThaddeusPope Thad, would this ruling permit a physician or hospital to refuse to perform CPR for a patient for whom it was deemed futile?

@FilipinoSurgeon Wrong answer: hernia repair.

Dear #hernia friends. What’s the best use for this thing? Wrong answers only… I’ll start - badminton shuttlecock #justsaynotoplugs

@jashapiro_writr @kidlitjenny And yet, that’s very informal for a business communication.

Writing friends, I wonder if you could help me out. There's an agent I want to query and they use the pronouns they/their. How should I address them in my letter? I don't see anything on their site regarding this, and I want to make sure I do it in the proper and respectful way.

my favorite Bible story just might be the one where Jesus votes against disaster aid for his own constituents and then goes on twitter to blame Joe Biden for not getting anything done

This is your regular reminder that when Democrats voted to lower health care costs, lower Rx drug prices, and crack down on millionaire tax cheats every single republican in Congress voted no.

@JBMatthews Going to try.

@shapirotx Joan and I will be there.

R.I.P. William Silen MD. Professor of Surgery at Harvard, Surgeon-in-Chief at Boston’s Beth Israel Hospital. I started working in his lab in 1979, trained under him starting in 1985, and was hired by him in 1991. Brilliant surgeon and scientist. My mentor and role model.

@JBMatthews Thanks, Jeff.
