Im on call this wknd rounding in 2 hospitals, thoughts: 1) For the love of everything Holy, please get vaccinated. It doesn't have to be this way. VAST majority are unvaccinated. 2) Nurses are the ๐Ÿ’œ & soul of a hospital and the care of patients. I worry about them the most.

@jmugele ๐Ÿ˜ Really learned this moonlighting as a fellow in rural NC. In medicine when someone asks it's b/c they don't have the resources and they need help. Saying "yes" (when possible) is so important to help a colleague AND get their patient the treatment they deserve. #Team

Ok #OncTwitter , are you all surprised at oncology? On one hand I feel like most people in oncology really feel called to it and are super passionate, but is satisfaction so low because it's just so so hard? Losing patients? Having tough conversations? #bcsm @OncoAlert

Study w/ annual vs. less frequent mammo for surveillance after #bcsm . No change in #bcsm specific survival. The thing that bothers me about this is : does only survival matter? What about the less tx and less morbidity when a recurrence is caught earlier vs to later? #SABCS23

Biomarkers are only getting more important. 1) Tissue/blood needs to be part of all studies and 2) profile your patients! #ASCO22 #bcsm @OncoAlert

NEWS: Capivasertib approved in combination w/ fulvestrant for #MBC with a PI3/AKT/PTEN alteration. Ok #bcsm community, what do you think about the approval for only for those with alterations? Altered subset didn't look so different than wild-type subset to me.

Definite disadvantages of #RemoteASCO2020 : 1) my step count is 1,126...would have been at 10,000 by now walking McCormick Place 2) love the Twitter, texts, and email communication. However, can't beat in-person interactions with colleagues, patients, & pharma. #ASCO20 @OncoAlert

I am so sorry, โฆ @NCIDirector โฉ, that you are having to go through this. Amazing display of leadership not only sharing her #bcsm diagnosis, but also publicly showing her confidence in clinical trials. NCI Director has cancer - The Cancer Letter

Anyone else inspired going back and revisiting the discovery of #HER2 , the original therapeutics.... seeing how far we have come, how many drugs we have, and how much the natural history to this disease has been changed? I am. #ASCO21 @OncoAlert

Big fan of meetings/zooms being 25 minutes instead of 30 or 50 minutes instead of 60 to allow 5-10 minutes for breaks in-between. Also nice to be able to go to the bathroom or get something to eat/drink! Why isn't this the standard?

If you sit in back-to-back meetings at work, read this: Microsoft's Human Factors Lab studied 14 participants across two days of video meetings. โ€ข Day 1: 4 back-to-back 30-min meetings. โ€ข Day 2: 4 30-min meetings with 10-minute breaks in between. Participants wore EEG caps
