The UN system is at a crossroads. It’s not just financial, although that’s a big part. It’s a crisis of mission, scope and purpose. The job losses are a symptom

Hey bioRxiv Affiliates - we have a backlog again. If any affiliates are around to screen, we'd be immensely grateful - more importantly the authors in the queue would be too!

Dr. Nabil G. Seidah has published major work on the ability of proprotein convertases PCSK7 and PCSK9 to effectively eliminate liver metastases from colorectal cancer, while strengthening anti-tumor immunity. This represents a significant advance in the fight against cancer. 👉 http://bit.ly/3HI8wSS

It was a real honour to get to collaborate on the @cctg.bsky.social PC-BETS trial. This study evaluated the use of ctDNA to guide precision therapy treatments for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. We presented substudy results w: darolutamide; durvalumab + tremilimumab; or carboplatin

“T-cell targeting therapies have been curative in some patients, but this success requires that patients have inherent T cells, where in some cancer types, there are no T cells to be had” Dr Josie Ursini-Siegel on improving immunotherapy for cancer treatment #CCSResearchShowcase @mcgill.ca

Even if the output is accurate and engaging, something valuable is lost in the process. Jotting down intuitions and spelling out hunches is how we develop and refine our ideas.
Writing is where we do our best thinking.

$15M for 50 scientists is $300k per recruited scientist. A start up package of $300k will not go very far/last long in Toronto… and 2 years is a pretty short runway for independence (we all know how hard it is for ECRs to get CIHR funding). But maybe there are other components not mentioned…

An eppendorf centrifuge in that specific nicotine-yellow color from the 80s. It's the exact color as the old fridge in your garage that you keep sodas in that your parents replaced in 1997, and which has outlived a half-dozen of its replacements.
"Why don't you buy a new centrifuge"
Because everyone knows that any appliances in that shade of yellow will outlive you and your entire family, look at it
