A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Michigan time to stand up!!!

My RDU community…

First Bryant Lab graduate student led study is out online at Cancer Research: aacrjournals.org/cancerres/ar... Big congrats to Jon DeLiberty and team! #ProudPI #pancreaticcancer #KillKRAS

I agree-it’s all hands on deck. I’ve done 13 interviews since this started (NPR, NewNation, CBS, Bloomberg, BBC, etc.) and should have more scheduled. It’s been tough but so worth it, and they need more voices. IMO, silence is not an option.

I just received the first strongly worded email from my leaders indicating they would fight this most recent change to IDCs. All I hear was that it wasn’t worth fighting for when it was about trainees, early career scientists, and POC. Heard loud and clear.

Our research is not only contributing to scientific advancement, but also powering the economy.

Collaboration b/t our super star recruit @jennyklomp.bsky.social & @henryfordhealth.bsky.social colleague @hccvpdac.bsky.social will brighten the outlook for pancreatic cancer patients!! #SpartansWill @nullalleles.bsky.social @msu-medicine.bsky.social msutoday.msu.edu/news/2025/he...

Time to update this to 2025…

Nice summary of our work highlighted in NEJM (@jennyklomp.bsky.social) www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Our latest publication is now online! Spatial Transcriptomic Analysis Identifies Epithelium-Macrophage Crosstalk in Endometriotic Lesions: iScience www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

Tigist Tamir PhD has joined the department as a TT Assistant Professor. Her research focuses on Cell signaling mediated regulation of metabolism & oxidative stress response in obesity and cancer. Her lab is accepting applications for RA,postdoc positions & rotation students. @phosphotig.bsky.social

I’m honored to share that I will be a MSU Research Foundation Professor! Established w/ Cisplatin revenues, Foundation Professors are awarded to “exceptionally accomplished faculty members, with the aim of enhancing the stature of the institution in research and creative activity.” #SpartansWill

Highly recommend!!!

Published a few weeks ago in Cancer Research, we show benefit of targeting HMCR with pitavastatin in combo with AKT inhibitors in TNBC. Many amazing people contributed, led by the magnificently talented @alissandra-hillis.bsky.social! Looking to initiate new clinical trials based on this combo. 🧪

Nice summary of our recent work. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In case you didn’t know, the first city to add fluoride to their city water was my hometown Grand Rapids, MI. We even have a statue and a plaque (but none on our teeth 😬).

If you want to learn something on Friday, please join us in person or virtually for the 4th annual Henry Ford Pancreatic Cancer Symposium! To see the program and to register, go to hfhs.cloud-cme.com/course/cours...

Double rainbow 🌈 was a welcome sight after a rainy walk and a disappointing week.

Congrats to the Der Lab team and all of our wonderful collaborators on two great studies just published in Science! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

www.nature.com/articles/s41... Excited to have been able to contribute to this fantastic work.

Where is SRC? Otherwise pretty accurate 🤷‍♀️

Putting my “job talk” together and struggling with how much to focus on the work I have already published during my postdoc versus my current work that I just resubmitted. The resubmitted work is more in line with what I plan to work on in the future and is part of my K99…

Keep reading posts about people feeling too old to start new careers. I started a PhD at 30, a postdoc at 35, became a mother at 38, and started a K99 at 40, but in my mind I’m still 28 so I think it all adds up 🤷‍♀️. Plus I will probably be in my 80s when I retire if I’m like most academics #noregrets

I believe I have the postdoc version of senioritis. Papers are sitting in review, K99 is activated, working on faculty applications, lots going on in the lab, and yet my mind is constantly wandering and thinking more about the future than focusing on the tasks to get there.

This week I decided the weekend started on Friday. I can’t believe how long this week has been.

Front page of tomorrow’s Daily Tar Heel. This really hit me hard. It was only a short while ago that I was frantically texting my sister at Michigan State some of these very texts. Yesterday it was her texting me.
