Join us! UNC Lineberger’s annual scientific symposium: 15 talks on #PancreaticCancer  research, May 21 and 22. The event is free, virtual option available - register here: unclineberger.org/symposium/ UNC Pancreas Center @PanCan Lustgarten Foundation

Recently I had the opportunity to be on a panel at AACR to give my viewpoint on trust in science and how this can affect health disparities and clinical trial enrollment. Without trust things will never change. TY patty spears for the invite! #AACR24 #AACRSSP #clinicaltrials

'Trust is built in drops & lost in buckets. 3 actions must be at the forefront of efforts 2 regain trust:

*improve communication
*make guidance & mandates limited, approp & transparent
*demonstrate steady progress on health issues that matter to ppl'
