The House just passed a bill that makes the biggest cut to #Medicaid in history & kicks millions off health coverage.

This will have a lasting impact on the fight against cancer. Health care costs will increase & those who need cancer screening & preventive care could have to go without. (1/2)

I haven’t had a chance to visit many posters or presentations this week, but with slower traffic today, I made a point to check out our DICR post bacc grantee posters! Love hearing about their great work, and how cool that they’re both pursuing MD/PhDs next!

Dr. Saltzman was so inspiring. I can’t fathom all that he’s been through, and still here leading the fight.
