I am so utterly and deeply sorry to hear this news. My thoughts, strength and prayers are with the Duncan family and all his friends and loved ones. What a tragedy. Glioblastoma (like all cancer) is pure, unadulterated evil. We must keep striving for a cure for it.
Former St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Chris Duncan, who helped the team win the 2006 World Series, has died from brain cancer at 38-years-old, the team says cnn.it/2m2m1Tv

A year ago today I was unable to walk having suffered a stroke. Thanks to the mindset learned as an Olympian, 2 months later I was back running! Today I’m thankful to my family, friends, fans, and @mjp360 for the incredible support! #strokesurvivor #health #Olympics #motivation

Over the years I dabbled in different areas of immunology & virology. Some areas are filled with people who support each other's work while other areas are so cliquey and impenetrable. Science benefits when ideas come from ppl with diverse backgrounds. Let's welcome newcomers.

Just learning to tweet 🤪 and apparently did not do this right the first time. Thank you @theABTA and Massimo @GlioVis and @CNIO_Cancer for an awesome trip. @AmericanCancer
Thank you ABTA for sponsoring my visit to Massimo Squatrito’s lab in Madrid! It’s been a very productive visit-learning new techniques, setting up new collaborations and working on our manuscript together.

Take your rightful seat in history, Dr. Bouman! 🔭 Congratulations and thank you for your enormous contribution to the advancements of science and mankind. Here’s to #WomenInSTEM! 👩🏻‍🔬👩🏾‍💻👩🏼‍🏭👩🏿‍🏫
Congratulations to Katie Bouman to whom we owe the first photograph of a black hole ever. Not seeing her name circulate nearly enough in the press. Amazing work. And here’s to more women in science (getting their credit and being remembered in history) 💥🔥☄️

When a gun is present in a domestic violence situation, the risk of the woman getting murdered rises by 500 percent. Tell your senators to stand up to the NRA, close the "boyfriend loophole," and reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. nbcnews.com/politics/congres…
