I've been on both sides of this game. What I know is that transformers can't expect the system to change what it is when it has thrived and promoted so many people in that system. Transformers must be at peace with their calling and the efforts they make daily. 5/5

Former First Lady Michelle Obama gives powerful remarks at the White House portrait unveiling: "If the two of us can end up on the walls of the most famous address in the world ... it is so important for every young kid who is doubting themselves to believe that they can too."

Reflected on #NationalComingOutDay2022 by re-watching Hannah Gadsby, having finished her beautiful memoir. No nostalgia here - my story, like so many others, cultivated by rigid societal expectations, stuffed with shame and hatred, expelled thru trauma - remains only painful.

Uplifting session with Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦, @FransonAndrea, @doctweettweet, Dan Runco, MD MS, Tab Cooney, MD, Sabine Mueller, Gene Hwang, & many others - so grateful for their advice as senior clinician-investigators, finding support while navigating life’s ups and downs. #SNO2022

I also appreciated Tab Cooney, MD (and her rainbow flag pin!) introducing Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦 as Dr. Monje (maybe it should have been Dr. Dr. Monje 😂). Again, representation matters!

SNO Thank you for organizing this fantastic session Tab Cooney, MD and team - we are all carrying each other and the field forward. 🤩

Such power in hearing how Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦 navigated early motherhood - and bias - while building her career; our generation can change the systems that currently support few. Much gratitude to all of our mentors who attended and supported our YIs - the future is bright! #SNO2022

What a heavy moment to be a queer, academic pediatric neuro-oncologist. So uplifting to feel #SNO2022 representation and community, then shattering to return to violence invoked by rising hate and fear. We Were (And Are) Always Here ✊❤️#LGBTQIA

Strange feeling, to see something as basic and as personal as the durability of your marriage come up for debate on the Senate floor.

pLGG response and rebound depends on driver and drug, but we need much larger studies to crystallize expectations. Grateful to work with these co-authors ❤️. Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Jessica Tsai, MD, PhD Keith Ligon @Bando_Lab

What do pediatric neuro-oncology survivorship patients and caregivers think of telehealth? While convenient, it often comes at a loss of effectiveness and personal connection.
