How can you not think about the Roman Empire?

What leads us to ignore experts isn't their knowledge. It's their arrogance. Evidence: Scientists are more credible when they admit what they don't know, acknowledge what they got wrong, and update their views. Trust is earned by expressing humility, not by asserting authority.

Cancer cells leverage epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to promote treatment resistance and metastasis. Results from a recent MD Anderson study found that EMT is a necessary step for pancreatic tumors to become malignant. Learn more: brnw.ch/21wR9Zv #EndCancer

Stromal mutations occur, but hard to prove they are functional. In our new paper with Trey Ideker’s lab and led by Dr. Mohita Tagore and Maayan Baron, we show that we can find these by looking for mutations across a “class” of genes rather than single genes: nature.com/articles/s4158…
