    Excited to announce that I have taken on the role of Vice Chair of Academic Affairs in the Department of Medical Oncology & Experimental Therapeutics at @cityofhope. Candidly, in my 17 years at this great institution, I’ve been reluctant to take on roles in leadership. Why?

    Yesterday we saw some reprehensible behavior emanating from the @ASCO #GU22 podium, with a well known investigator insulting (in a manner deeply imbued w microaggressions) an esteemed colleague at the mic. It’s a teachable moment & the lesson is simple: be kind to ur colleagues.

    With his home likely lost to the fires overnight, my dept chair @DrRaviSalgia came in at 0230 & started seeing patients in our hospital. This is leadership. We are facing a huge crisis here & my heart goes out all of my fellow #LosAngelinos who have been affected by the fires.

    Friday thoughts: Dear fellows & junior faculty, Later in your career, the abstract section of your CV will be lengthy but people will gloss over it. Presenting abstracts is fun & an important part of academic development (via networking, honing presentation skills, etc.), but

    How did @NarjustDumaMD do in teaching 5-8 year olds about social justice? NAILED IT! The slide below brought out such rich conversation. What do the apples below represent? Food? Vaccines? Education? Bravo, Dr. Duma, for inspiring the next generation! #DumaLab
