    🗣️If you are a fellow, oncologist or work in the pharma industry and want to improve your oral communication skills and make effective presentations, you just have to watch @montypal #ESMO22 presidential session discussion on loop. 🎩Hats off!! @OncoAlert

    Excited to announce that I have taken on the role of Vice Chair of Academic Affairs in the Department of Medical Oncology & Experimental Therapeutics at @cityofhope. Candidly, in my 17 years at this great institution, I’ve been reluctant to take on roles in leadership. Why?

    Yesterday we saw some reprehensible behavior emanating from the @ASCO #GU22 podium, with a well known investigator insulting (in a manner deeply imbued w microaggressions) an esteemed colleague at the mic. It’s a teachable moment & the lesson is simple: be kind to ur colleagues.

    With his home likely lost to the fires overnight, my dept chair @DrRaviSalgia came in at 0230 & started seeing patients in our hospital. This is leadership. We are facing a huge crisis here & my heart goes out all of my fellow #LosAngelinos who have been affected by the fires.

    Friday thoughts: Dear fellows & junior faculty, Later in your career, the abstract section of your CV will be lengthy but people will gloss over it. Presenting abstracts is fun & an important part of academic development (via networking, honing presentation skills, etc.), but

    Proud to hear that @PGrivasMDPhD was promoted to Full Professor at @fredhutch @UWDeptMedicine. Well deserved promotion for a #clinicianscientist with a brilliant mind & a kind heart. Been amazing to witness his career, bringing so many + changes for pts with #bladdercancer.

    How did @NarjustDumaMD do in teaching 5-8 year olds about social justice? NAILED IT! The slide below brought out such rich conversation. What do the apples below represent? Food? Vaccines? Education? Bravo, Dr. Duma, for inspiring the next generation! #DumaLab
