Amazing time at the chromosomal instability workshop (thank you @TheMarkFdn !). So lucky to be a part of this incredible community. The science discussed here is just 🤯.
It's 102°F/39°C in New Haven—but 30 international experts have braved the heatwave to join us at @YaleMed for a 3-day workshop on chromosomal instability in cancer. Thank you to our workshop organizers, @roelverhaak, @markowetzlab, & Aurelie Ernst!
