My latest for @FredHutch on viruses that "go long." It's not just #COVID19, apparently. Many viruses have the potential to linger, causing long-term health issues. The good news? Researchers are on it.

Cancer treatment is like being a toddler again:
👉 Always confused
👉 Cry all the time
👉 Naps are mandatory

Great to want to implement #genomics into cancer pathways but the problem I hear fm oncologists is that:-
If they find a cancer mutation then if there is no treatment or drug or clinical trial to support this patient then what is offered to this patient? #GMCC22 @chris_wigley

Today in 1899, a totem pole stolen from a Tlingit village in AK is unveiled in Pioneer Sq. Per the thief: “The Indians were away fishing … We picked out the best-looking totem pole & chopped it down just like u'd chop down a tree. It was 2 big 2 roll, so we sawed it in two." 🤦♀️

If you use the color pink in an exploitive way for profit
If you use photos of men/women who have died from #breastcancer in an exploitive way to garner more donations
I will call you out for your tactics.
