A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. “We were surprised by how brazenly the male researchers described their priorities, for example that they actively didn’t respond to emails”

Paid summer research opportunity to study new genes in yeast! A few days left to apply! Please RT!

Using experimental models in a study supported by our division, Ben Bitler, Matthew J. Sikora, PhD, et al. revealed mechanisms by which WNT4 regulates cellular metabolism in #BreastCancer and #GynecologicalCancer Cancer Research Communications bit.ly/48i0VlC.

This is also why identifying candidates for awards, leadership roles, etc needs an open call and evaluation rubric vs an impromptu solicitation of names.

Happy to share our recent publication, which was spearheaded by former student Caroline Chang and current post-doc Ya-Yun Cheng, who found that the extracellular glutathione peroxidase GPX3 supports ovarian cancer tumor progression in vivo.
