Help us spread the word! #PolicyAtTheSpeedOfTech
I'm very excited about launching this new initiative @CABreastCancer. Please help spread the word to folks who may be interested in applying. @ucsf_library @industrydocs
CBCRP is excited to announce a new funding opportunity for investigating industry influence over scientific information on breast cancer and the environment via the UCSF Industry Documents Library. Applications due 3/24/2021 cbcrp.org/funding-opportunit… @ucsf_library @industrydocs
This is our latest initiative we are launching at work. Please share widely with anyone in California working with immigrant communities, breast cancer, social determinants of health, and/or related areas! cbcrp.org/funding-opportunit…
Why does immigrating from a country of low breast cancer incidence to the U.S. increase a women’s risk of breast cancer? CBCRP has launched an initiative to answer this question. Applications are due 3/24/21. Learn more at cbcrp.org/funding-opportunit…
As we continue to process the events of earlier this month, many people are probably wondering what they can and should be doing to support the democratic process. Here are some great tips from @ESAL_us. esal.us/blog/keeping-the-fai…
Today the Biden Administration announced its science team and that for the first time in history it is elevating the Presidential Science Advisor to the Cabinet level. Exciting news! buildbackbetter.gov/press-re…
Congratulations, @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris! This is a great day for decency, hope, democracy, and for America. The road ahead won’t be easy, and it will take a huge amount of work to heal the nation and fix our broken government. Time to roll up our sleeves and get to work!
For the first time in its 175-year history, Scientific American @sciam is endorsing a presidential candidate: Joe Biden @JoeBiden. scientificamerican.com/artic…
Folks, this is the face of the Trump administration's ongoing campaign to censor COVID-19 science politico.com/news/2020/09/11… - a man who can't dispute the facts so calls his critics liars, and uses "scientist" as an insult. 🤦♂️ Thank you @AliNouriPhD for calling out this corruption!

The latest about Trump's lies about COVID-19 are particularly troubling science.sciencemag.org/conte…, as are the admin's efforts to censor the CDC politico.com/news/2020/09/11…. These actions have real consequences, including thousands of lives lost and millions disrupted. Get out and vote!
Check out #Paths2Prevention from @BCPPartners and funded by @CABreastCancer. This is tremendously important work, and I am proud to have gotten to play a small role in it!
#Paths2Prevention is the first ever comprehensive primary prevention plan for breast cancer made for the people, led by @BCPPartners and funded by @CABreastCancer bit.ly/PathstoPrevention. Hear from science and policy experts about what it means for you bit.ly/BreastCancerPlan

This story in @nytimes, beginning with its headline, fails spectacularly to explain what is happening right now to universities all across this country. The conflicts over plans for the fall are warning signs of an epic crisis for higher ed.

This spring we awarded 85 emergency grants to fund high-urgency research on COVID-19. I'm optimistic that the research we funded will make a tangible difference in California and beyond as we continue to deal with this difficult pandemic. universityofcalifornia.edu/p…
Our office has released an emergency research funding opportunity related to COVID-19 that any researcher based in California can apply to. Check it out, and please let me know if you have any questions.
We are excited to announce that applications are open from now until funds are expended for $25,000 proposals for research to address COVID-19. CBCRP and the UC RGPO statewide funding programs are together making $2M available for COVID-19 research. cbcrp.org/covid19/emergency-…
There's so much else going on in the world right now, but this was a really exciting project and was honored to be a part of it!
We launched the Global Challenge #ToPreventBreastCancer in 2018. In 2019, we named 10 finalists and 3 winners. Now, we are excited to announce a new special issue in IJERPH highlighting these finalists, their ideas, and our breast cancer prevention efforts cbcrp.org/global-challenge/s…
Last year we at @CABreastCancer ran the Global Challenge #ToPreventBreastCancer. Results are now published in a special issue in IJERPH featuring several finalists: mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/spec…. Also included is a paper @MhelKL and I wrote about the challenge: mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/4/1394
