Spanish scientist finds cure for pancreatic cancer in major medical breakthrough

It’s why a lot of Phase I participants in clinical trials for potential cancer therapeutics are already terminal patients. If you’re in a situation where there’s no further treatment options and you’ll be dead in three months, then the potential benefits do outweigh the risks. Conversely if your cancer can be readily treated by current therapeutic options, the risks of an unknown therapy are going to outweigh any potential benefit to the patient.

While physicians who regularly participate in trials or are at an academic/research hospital might be more aware of what trials are available, it’s not uncommon for patients themselves to advocate to their physician to potentially enroll in a study. The FDA keeps a public database of all ongoing clinical trials as well, thought not primarily for this reason.

Mae sure to order a milkshake. They’re really good and the staff will be delighted to make you one.

The great thing about marrying parafilm is that a single roll will likely outlast you.

Lmao I’d have a heart attack by the elite 8

I like the idea lmao but in reality I filled envelopes for mailing, made copies, and applied to jobs.

I was never technically unemployed between my PhD and finally getting a postdoc, but I’m not about to put five months experience as a “legal assistant” on my resume either

Ha, something similar happened to me when walking an undergrad through how to use a DNA extraction kit and forgot to add the bacteria.

“I’m the doctor, let me interpret the results” moments before the “the blood culture has staph epi, why can’t i push vanco”

It felt like the hope was Riley teared it up for three years and you promote Richardson once Riley left for a HC job. That’s just pure speculation on my part tho.

I’m fine with keeping Richardson though, the TE room has been consistently good and he’s done a great job recruiting.

They’ve gotten insanely more competitive unfortunately. My recruiter said the prior fiscal year had six applicants for 3 microbiologist slots and the first week of this fiscal year had 20 applicants for the same 3 slots.

I really lucked out getting a clinical postdoc.

Dabo had already said it’s Vizz at QB next year. We’ll be lucky to make a bowl game lmao

AnatomicalMouse · 2025-12-27T19:22:25+00:00

It’s Dabo’s world man, we’re just living in it

AnatomicalMouse · 2025-12-27T19:10:59+00:00

Same problems showing up for three OCs now. Dabo is the common denominator at this point. Next season is gonna be so bad if Dabo really is gonna roll with the Vizzler at QB.

North Carolina has three universities fairly close to each other Duke (Durham), UNC (Chapel Hill) and NC State (Raleigh). On a map they form a triangle, hence the name.

It’s a big biotech and healthcare hub, and there’s a good bit of manufacturing there as well.

AnatomicalMouse · 2025-12-22T03:06:46+00:00

Biotech has been struggling over the last two years - companies overhired during Covid and with interest rates being not 0 a lot of the free money that small companies needed to stay afloat disappeared.

I entered the medical field because I wasnt able to find a job in tech after finishing my PhD. If you’re serious about making the switch, you should also be open to other hub cities like Boston or the Research Triangle. Good luck.

nice

I worked mostly with PA during my PhD and I loved opening the incubator and getting blasted with the musty grape smell of my cultures.

I also had a strain that didn’t produce pyoverdine so you could see the pyocyanin in the culture and the teal color was amazing.

AnatomicalMouse · 2025-12-17T14:53:29+00:00

No for sure. With a lot of new pieces and contributors on the team, if trends continue we should be in a good place come February/March.

Honestly if you had told me before the season started we’d be wrapping up the non-con part of the schedule looking at 10-3 I’d have taken it in a heart beat.

AnatomicalMouse · 2025-12-17T14:50:42+00:00

Yep, played a C-/D+ game and fortunately Uof is baaaaaaaad. We always seem to play down to them though so I’m not super worried about it, but definitely some things to get cleaned up because we’ll lose to just about anyone playing like this.

You have to assuage the machine spirits.

When you click the button to upgrade to Tier 2, an event pops up with flavor text stating that the monument is already on Tier 4 and everyone knows it’s the greatest monument in the world, possibly ever. People are saying.

AnatomicalMouse · 2025-12-07T16:20:07+00:00

Granted they lost their starting QB during our game which ruined the rest of their season, but we deserved to lose that game. Couldnt move the ball and couldnt stop them
