Such an incredible opportunity for medical students and postdoctoral trainees.

NeuroOnc is an incredible field and we’re always looking for more incredible young scientists to join the team!

Hope you can join and/or share with your trainees!

One of my patients with
#DMG is rocking their junior year of HS, taking 2 AP classes despite daily radiation and other therapy. #herokid I told them to challenge me with a question from AP BIO at our next visit and they wrote me a quiz!
Wanna try too? @hopkinspress.bsky.social

Inspired by the other amazing starter packs - here's one for cancer researchers!

I tried to make this broad - from immunology to genomics to cell biology and so much more..

This list also includes organizations & institutes supporting cancer researchers πŸ§ͺπŸ”¬βš•οΈπŸ©Ί

Hope its useful!
