So often when students are stumped with research papers, their impulse is to zoom in and learn more detail about their topics. They never believe me when I suggest zooming *out* to theory, to understand why their question matters. But I don't blame then, since it took me decades to learn this.

Excited to share my team’s research on #PancreaticCancer and the role of #CAFECM units in the #TME today and see my friends and colleagues #BaharemBehkam & #AmrinderNain at this beautiful @virginiatech.bsky.social campus 💜

Gooooo Erik!
