We’ve had this problem too! Would love to see adjustable and accessible podiums that are functional for highlighting all presenters in conference facilities MD Anderson Cancer Center! Will we see this improvement at TMC3? Ranna Parekh, MD, MPH Peter WT Pisters, MD Giulio Draetta Carin Hagberg, MD #DEI #WomenInSTEM

To support #CancerPrevention we look for ways to help cells activate protective pathways that remove cancer-causing chemicals and repair damage. A few tips on reducing exposure to potentially harmful chemicals from MD Anderson Cancer Center.

A story of adventures (and misadventures) in pharmacology and cancer prevention, including some of my favorite scientists/mentors. Mikayla Borthwick Bowen - this is a fun read as you consider intersections of medicine and public health while you chart your path forward.

I’m very proud to announce the successful PhD thesis defense of Mikayla Borthwick Bowen MD Anderson-UTH Grad ! Not even a fire alarm in the middle of the seminar could shake her off course (after the safety-related break, of course!).

Wow #AACRec23- all of us are leaving fired up with new insights and inspiration! I loved seeing so many outstanding trainees highlighted (and newly minted PhD Mikayla Borthwick Bowen). Brainstorming with old friends and new friends in our exceptional endometrial cancer research village!
