- This month’s imaginative @Cancer_Cell cover: The Monkey King (NK cells) recognizes & tries to kill the White Bone Demon (CTCs), who is disguised as a girl. However, the White Bone Demon pretends to be innocent & convinces Tripitaka (platelets) & Pigsy (HLA-E) to protect it.
- On the bright side, the incidence of prostate cancer has fallen dramatically, mostly in women. 🙄
- The starting salary of an Assistant Professor (4 years college, 5 years PhD, 3-5 years of postdoc) is 1% of a NFL Head Coach #ScienceMarchScience pros! What is one thing that the public doesn't know about your work that they would be surprised about? #ScienceMarch #ScienceJobs
- “There are not, and will never be, KRAS inhibitors” 👀 @Pasca_Lab presents a memorable reviewer comment from her 1st unfunded NIH grant at #AACRPan24. The lesson is that you should not let deflating reviewer comments define the value of your science. Also, persistence!
- 🤠 👉🏽 🗽 news: I will be joining @nyulangone on September 1, 2025 as Director of the GI Cancer Center & Associate Director of Translational Research at @Perlmutter_CC. I am excited to start the next chapter of the Maitra Lab in NYC & build a strong GI cancer research program.

- I am 51 years old and my mom still orders flowers for my birthday all the way from India 🥲🥲
- Did I do this correctly? Types of #Pathology Paper. PS: Many Thanks to @g_levrier for the @xkcd paper generator.
- It’s the ten year anniversary of the Maitra Lab in Houston - the lab formally opened on Aug 1, 2013 - so of course we had to celebrate with an appropriate cake to mark the milestone. 🎂🔬🧫🧬🧪
- Cancer Statistics 2023 from @AmericanCancer is now published in @caonline #OpenAccess acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.33… @OncoAlert
