We know HSF1 is critical in many cancers. Here we find that HSF2 is also involved in this HSF cancer program! Not our first paper, but our first lab project. Amazing work by @Roger5mith (@NUMSTP) and @SeeshaTakagishi (now at UCSF). science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

In case you ever doubted our power, medical students in Chicago (@GetMePPEchi) helped medical students in Detroit send a few thousand respirators and face shields to Texas, where @MedSupplyDrive students were waiting

THINK LIKE AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST: why are COVID deaths *still* not going up 3 weeks after case counts started increasing? There are many possible explanations, but one I haven’t seen mentioned is the impact of widespread testing on *early detection*.

Hi. Wearing a mask isn't about controlling you or your freedom. It’s about controlling the spread of COVID-19. #WearAMask

Big shout out to my PI, @marcmendillo, for shutting down our weekly lab meeting to make space for a conversation about race, racism and how we could improve our community and affirm our commitment to antiracism!

I’ll keep saying it for as long as it’s necessary to say it: Wearing a mask is about RESPECT.

A thread about the truth on US #COVID19 testing
1. Timing
The abject failure for the US to start testing when the virus was spreading as compared to South Korea, starting the same day w/ their 1st patients. Result: Profoundly behind the outbreak. No #TestTraceIsolate when no test
