Just concluded a successful Advanced Breast Cancer Conference 2025! The two days were filled with powerful presentations, engaging panels, and most importantly, meaningful dialogue between patients and scientists. The personal stories shared and the thoughtful questions asked were truly inspiring.

A black and white professional portrait of Vivienne Lucille Malone. She is a young Black woman, with a 40s-50s hairstyle bangs and long hair, and a dark wool coat. She is smiling, looking off camera. The background from the photo studio emulates a cabin interior with an open window showing a snowy day in the forest. Above her head, her name is handwritten or autographed, with the year 1948.

Vivienne Lucille Malone-Mayes (1932–1995) was the first African American full-time mathematics professor at Baylor University.
She studied properties of functions, as well as methods of teaching mathematics.
She was the fifth African American woman allowed to gain a PhD in mathematics in the US.

NOT-OD-25-068: Supplemental Guidance to the 2024 NIH Grants Policy Statement: Indirect Cost Rates NIH Funding Opportunities and Notices in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts: Supplemental Guidance to the 2024 NIH Grants Policy Statement: Indirect Cost Rates NOT-OD-25-068. OD

I can’t believe this. I was offline in an all day science meeting, and now this.

Universities LOSE money even w/ current fed indirect rates. They foot the bill for US science infrastructure.

This is how to kill the entire US research ecosystem.

The results of SONIA are out on @Nature. 1L use of palbo did not improve PFS over 2L use, but led to more AEs & costs. An evolving treatment landscape challenges its interpretationβ€” yet it shows that sequencing trials are possible. Congrats to the authors! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
