Not only is #metastaticcancer deadly, it is also one of, if not the most, challenging areas of cancer biology. Fred Hutch hopes to change that with the launch of the Center for Metastasis Research Excellence, or MET-X, led by @GhajarLab. bit.ly/3JF2ocV

Great turnout for our @fredhutch Mussel workshop last weekend! Teachers learned how PCR can help distinguish between native & invasive species of mussels found in Puget Sound. The session was co-taught by SEP teacher Sam Garson from Friday Harbor HS. 🧬🧬🧬

Can't believe spirit halloween sells this
A Spirit Halloween packaged costume of an Unprepared Hiker. The model is a young man in a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and flip-flops holding a crushed energy drink in his hand. He stands in a snowy forest. He's definitely regretting not bringing extra layers. The text on the package reads: UNPREPARED HIKER Includes: Flip flops Cotton T-shirt Sunburn One empty energy drink Delusions of grandeur Sense of direction not included He wonders if telling his friends "It'll be fine!" instead of telling them where he'll be hiking is worthy of a verse in an Alanis Morissette song.

Made a playlist for your weekend hike
