Very cool findings. Congrats all!

Thanks for all your work Mike. You did amazing!

Excited to Stand up for Science in Buffalo tomorrow! Great line up of speakers.

Hey @buffalonews.com! I’ve been trying to find your coverage of the Trump administration’s destruction of science. You interested in covering a story that has tremendous economic and social impact to our region?

Rep’s office said, “we are getting a lot of calls on this today.” Keep calling, they keep track!

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

Registration and abstract submissions are open for the Third Annual SoCal Metabolism Symposium at USC. Go to gero.usc.edu/event/third-... The abstract and early bird price deadlines are Feb 28th

Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives

For any trainees looking for a new position, please reach out.

Big news for the new year! The Wilde Lab is launching @roswellpark.bsky.social. Our focus is metabolism and tumor initiation. We use oncometabolite-driven tumors to study mechanisms of initiation and identify tumor-preventative treatments. Excited to build a team of curious, innovative scientists!

I joined 75+ @nobelprize.bsky.social laureates urging US Senators to oppose RFK Jr.'s confirmation as DHHS Secretary. If you’re in a state with GOP senators, PLEASE reach out to them! I’d deeply appreciate it if you amplified this post! 🙏

(2/2) This paper describes a shift from epigenetic to genetic-driven tumorigenesis. Tumor etiology and evolution are important, and will be necessary for helping us know the right times to treat with mut-IDH inhibitors. Great paper.

Evolving cell states and oncogenic drivers during the progression of IDH-mutant gliomas - Nature Cancer Wu et al. perform single-cell analyses to explore the switch from low-grade to high-grade isocitrate-dehydrogenase-mutant glioma and show that it is characterized by oligodendrocyte progenitor cell-li...

(1/2) I’ve been happy but puzzled by the recent success of mut-IDH inhibitors. Some tumors lose mutant allele through CNA yet continue to progress, suggesting mut-IDH is essential for initiation but may be dispensable for progression. Seems to be context dependent.

The support network

Just as a starter, here, I present a different angle of networking, one that is often overlooked but equally important (if not even more important): your network of support.

Hello there 👋 I’m a postdoc @ UCLA and incoming Asst Prof @ Roswell Park interested in #cancermetabolism and #tumorinitiation

Not a frequent poster, but determined to engage more here.
