SueMentors – Giving you the HOW to your next career step. AKA The Mentor with Pom-Poms. Helping You Excavate Your Evidence-Based Results. Global Speaker. #digitalpioneer #ABL
FEEDBACK! It's a challenge - at least for me - that when I give a virtual talk, I don't always get much feedback about how it "landed." My CTA is to ask for an application of the learning with 1 of 2 actions (primarily on LinkedIn) in the next 24 hours. And I did that last evening when I finished the talk for the Public Health Career Club at PH SPOT on "Not Networking - Engaging Instead." You can imagine my surprise - and ELATION - when I finished a quick bite of a late supper less than 2 hours later to find a message from Linda Setiawan with this wonderful feedback: "I appreciate your advice to approach networking with a mindset of "engaging" in a way that adds to the conversation." AND - she had already written a post!! And she is now working on her banner and her "About" section to increase her visibility. #PomPomsToYou, Linda, for moving forward with the actions so quickly - and for moving your intentions into RESULTS!
May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month! I joined my colleagues at the Therapeutics Development Network, Seattle Children's last Sunday to walk for a cure. Great initiative by Rochelle delos Santos leading Team Ramsey's Racers! Seattle Great Strides raised ~$160,000 to advance medical and scientific progress. I’m thrilled to work with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation towards our mission: a cure for every person with CF!

1 woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every 10 min. At the University of Manchester, Dr Harrison and her team are developing a novel in vitro system to see how metastatic breast cancer spreads around the body. They've found a way of sampling of signals sent to and from two populations of cells: they're using an aggressive and invasive breast cancer cell line as the primary tumour and normal human lung cells as a secondary site. If it's possible to identify the signals, in future, they may be able to block them, reduce cancer spread and improve patient outcomes. https://lnkd.in/emfhBSWC #BreastCancer #BreastCancerAwareness #NAMs

Please take a moment to read, and share of course! The more eyes on this type of cancer, or any type of cancer in that case, the better 👍
Translating research into clinical practice is a ticket to long-term survivorship for individuals like me living with rare #braincancer. 7 years ago my world changed forever. I had a grand mal seizure and after several scans and a battery of other diagnostic testing, it was certain, I had a brain tumor in the upper left side of my brain. Talk about unreal. This stuff happens to other people, not me! With two young children and the crazy non-stop existence that comes with working full time and raising kiddos - life just came to a screeching halt. After an awake craniotomy at UCSF Health by the phenomenal and meticulous Edward Chang I was lucky to have most of the mass removed, leaving an open space in my brain that, fun fact, will never fill in. So yes, I literally DO have a hole in my head ! The part that remains is being treated by my hilarious and witty oncologist Nicholas Butowski with careful monitoring and regular MRIs. And of course my amazing neurologist Robert Knowlton who takes so much time to help manage the epileptic piece of my treatment. Luckily, with the proper medication, I have not had another grand mal seizure. This year, I was lucky enough to meet Bernadette Gates and her kind brother Stanley Currier who has the same type of tumor, in the same darn spot! They introduced me to the upcoming 3rd Annual Fast Track to a Cure 5k Bay Area Walk/Run on September 16th organized by Oligo Nation. After too many years of doing nothing to help find a cure for me and others like me with an oligo tumor, I am taking real action to help raise awareness and funds for #oligodendroglioma. I would love to invite my LinkedIn Community to join the effort by participating in person in the Bay Area, or virtually from wherever you might be in the world. So, if you have read this super long winded post, thank you. Even if all you do is hit the like/love/share/etc. button, it helps get the word out there that this organization exists. Maybe someone you know and love also has an Oligo brain tumor and could use this support community because I for one know how lonely it can feel to go it alone. Signing off with the reminder to count your blessings if you have good health, it really is the greatest gift and fortune in the world. https://lnkd.in/gKYEUFM2

🙌 Accelerating the transition from in vivo to in vitro In the final part of our FRAME Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments interview series with Celean Camp and Dennis Benkmann, we discuss the crucial role of cell culture models. Scientists are increasingly turning to these models to reduce their reliance on in vivo experiments. However, to accelerate this transition, several key steps are essential. First, access to appropriate cell culture models must be improved. Researchers need easier access to suppliers of models tailored to their specific needs. In addition, public education is essential to foster understanding and support for these alternative methods. With our cellQART® brand, we are committed to facilitating this change. Through initiatives such as the cellQART academy and the publication of best practices, we aim to make advanced technology accessible while ensuring affordability. But we cannot do it alone. Our community can join us on this journey by contributing to FRAME's charity-funded initiatives. Every donation helps spread our message and drive progress towards a future without animal testing. 🔬🐭 #nonanimaltesting #biomedical #research #humanandhumane
