A complete RAGER last night with my crew @TreatyOakMusic #boomtown Made sure to catch up with one of my rockstar patients (and his son) who is crushing #sarcoma and who also likes to rock. Our second treaty oak concert together 🙌🤘🤘🤘

A little harsh commentary, but I tend to agree with a lot that is said here.
The entire conversation initiated by the MD clown @DGlaucomflecken misses the point: when we give medical students the opportunity to do serious long-term research with us in true academic labs, we basically engage in a long-standing character interview and character building. We learn about their ability to independently study, execute complex tasks, show character, continuity and commitment to a topic, to study in depth and to write well and to show skills such as critical thinking, accuracy and ability to go above and beyond. Of course it’s popular to say that research should be prohibited. Removing USMLE scores was also popular but proved to be a horrible decision. Each year our program recruits different types of professional characters. Future clinicians, future educators, and future physician-scientists, on various tracks. Nobody expects any student to publish 50 papers before residency. But those who show track record of long-standing commitment to science, in depth study and deep investment will of course be rewarded and given greater opportunity over those who merely have superficial CV engagements that lasted a week each. Each paper is a deliverable, and shows ability to close. Those who have high impact papers and serious track record of commitment often turn out to be future leaders that move the field forward.View quoted post on X
I don’t generally give clowns instructions on how to be funny. I stay in my lane. I would appreciate if clowns don’t weigh in on how to be physician scientists.
To students: if you seek a career in academic research or want to be physician scientists and leaders in your profession, you absolutely have to publish. Do research. Lots of it! Focus on meaningful, impactful, and specific research. Quality > Quantity.
Sarcoma hasn’t budged….my lab is working tirelessly to help fix that 💪🙌with support from the @ACSNews
Cancer survival in the U.S. just crossed 70%.
It was 63% in the 1990s.
That gap = 4.8M people alive today.
This one chart captures survival gains across 29 cancer types.
The wins are real.
So is the unfinished work.
▪️CML: 31% → 72%
▪️Multiple myeloma: 32% → 62%
▫️Kidney: 59% → 82%
▫️Metastatic melanoma: 16% → 35%
▫️Childhood ALL: 80% → 92%
But some cancers barely moved.
Cervical cancer outcomes actually worsened.
None of this is abstract progress, though.
These are birthdays, grandkids, and years of life returned.
This is what funded science does.
Next time someone asks if cancer research works, show them this (full) chart.

Growing up, we had no resources to help others but to remind them that they were seen and loved. Many weekends, my family would hand out tracts and invite people to church because all we could give was hope. Caring for Charles has helped fill a big void #service @rockcitychurch
