Huge congrats to talented graduate student Fia Stratton on receiving the NSF GRFP today! So proud and excited to see all the incredible science you'll do — well deserved! @einsteincellbio.bsky.social @einsteinmededu.bsky.social

Being a part of @leadingedgeprogram.bsky.social has made navigating so many aspects of my postdoc and faculty search easier and I know it’ll be the same once I start my faculty position this year! ❤️

With the most sincerity, apply if you’re eligible! You very much won’t regret it! Exclamation point!

Thanks to @lungcancerresearch.bsky.social for supporting our work!

Here's a starter pack that focusses on lung biology, regeneration and cancer.

Let me know who I'm missing!

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 🧪🔬⚕️🩺

Hope its useful!
