"From my research on burnout, I knew the risk factors—long hours, poor boundaries, chronic stress. But I had completely ignored them creeping into my own life." Seems familiar? science.org/content/articl…

With @katerinarohlena pleased to announce the 2026 Prague Metabolism and Signaling Meeting (June 24-27). Two Keynotes (Vousden & Hall) and 30+ speakers in metabolism, mitochondria, aging, mTOR, & more. Please RT. Info, registration, & student discounts at: praguemetabolismsymposium.com
This is Czechia: - 0% wealth tax - Up to 50% cheaper than Western Europe - Birthplace of Trezor wallets & first Bitcoin café Previously socialist, it's now one of the most libertarian societies in the EU. Here are 8 reasons why the Czech Republic should be on your radar:
My very first mentee in @labgomes presenting her contribution to the field of aging and cancer mets.
Rojan Chimeh, Rad of @lab_gomes discusses how Aging drives TNBC lung metastasis dependency on FGFR-triggered metabolic reprogramming, exposing an age-induced liability with therapeutic potential during the #MoffittScientificSymposium.
Interested in the mysteries surrounding metastasis evolution? This perspective in @NatureRevCancer is my best attempt at proposing a framework that could help advance our thinking about the topic. Well. At least it helped advance my own thinking. 😅 nature.com/articles/s4156…

The #MSCA 2024 Postdoctoral Fellowships call results are out! 1696 outstanding researchers have been selected from 10,360 applicants to conduct research at top institutions worldwide, pushing forward the 🇪🇺 research and innovation sector 🌍🔬 Let’s break those results down🧵👇
🚨 Stop chasing the p-value! Increasing your sample size will always yield a significant result. Even for trivial differences. 🎮 I created a little interactive playground to illustrate this issue: react-graph-gallery.com/example/t-test… Always pair p-values with effect sizes!
🚨 Two Ph.D. Positions in Cancer Research 🚨 Join us at @BFUavcr @CzechAcademy @MUNI_Science @FNUSA_ICRC to study Tetraspanins in Prostate Cancer and the Role of Trop2 in Metastasis. 📅 Deadline: March 31, 2025 📧 Send CV & motivation letter to [email protected]

Several years in the making (and aging), @Xueqian_Zhuang 's study on aging is out today @Nature. She finds, surprisingly, that aging suppresses tumorigenesis and stemness in the lung by promoting a functional iron insufficiency in the alveolar epithelium. nature.com/articles/s4158…
📢Very excited to share this paper with you! The oestrous cycle stage affects mammary tumour sensitivity to chemotherapy published @Nature . Congratulations to Laura, @ColindaScheele and all the authors for this amazing story. nature.com/articles/s4158…
