Still time to send an abstract and register for the FASEB Cell Signaling in Cancer meeting. There are many speaking slots available for proffered abstracts, along with a fantastic lineup of speakers. Join us in Kentucky! events.faseb.org/event/Cell-…

Time to wander where the skies are clearer and the horizon feels endless. You’ll know where to find me—just follow the breeze.🦋

Systemic Macroenvironment and Metastasis: Effects of Aging and Stress— @megeblad, @SandraMcAllist4, and James V. DeGregori will address this topic in a plenary at the AACR conference on Tumor-body Interactions (November 17-20, Boston). bit.ly/4ckuHIz #AACRtumorenviron24

The election for chair-elect of the AACR Tumor Microenvironment Working Group is underway. All eligible working group members received voting instructions in an e-mail when voting opened on November 4. The deadline for voting is Monday, November 18.

To my science framily, As we reflect on this election season, I want to take a moment to acknowledge that things may not have gone as we had hoped or expected. I wish I was shocked that America did not elect its first woman and woman of color to the presidency but I am angry and disappointed. I know times like these can stir a mix of emotions and concerns. I, too, share fears for the future of science, federal support for the marginalized and elderly, and the rights of my family and loved ones. In moments like this, I am especially grateful for each of you. Your diverse values, perspectives, and individual journeys add incredible strength to our community. Our communities are spaces where everyone’s unique contributions and insights are respected and valued, and I am deeply appreciative of the care, dedication, and vision each of you brings. I see you, I hear you, and I grieve alongside you. Take a beat to rest and recover and then let’s continue to support one another, stay focused on the meaningful work we’re doing, and foster an environment where everyone feels empowered to thrive. Thank you for being who you are. Joy comes in the morning, as it always will. With gratitude, Donita
