We all understand you want to get some research experience and would like to have that help towards residency match. Many of us have been there. It is difficult to find a spot as we only have so much space/time.

I heard yesterday that a presenter from China at #ASCO23 was struggling to answer questions due to language barriers, after she did an excellent presentation. Dr. @YiLinMDPhD stepped in and said: βIβm here to translate.β Well done!

WHAT IS THE RISK CLASSIFICATION OF THE t(11;14) in MM?
This has been a long-debated question and probably asked in the wrong way. I have always had a special interest in the t(11;14) and want to tell a story and how it relates to venetoclax.

Released without his permission a conversation I had with @VincentRK on March 11th and 12th regarding the data in Wuhan. Empirical did has always suggested S<1.0.

My last tip: commit to 2 years. No one wants to have someone visit for a short time and make that just a check on their resume. It is likely that in 2 years, you will have projects and papers.
I wish you all the best. I also was an IMG.
