Hey @ZDMSociety! One more week to sign up for the #zdmsECI committee's ZDMS Mentoring Initiative 2025/26!! Share with your trainees and anyone working with #zebrafish looking for career development! ZDMS membership here zdmsociety.org/membership-si…, mentoring by QR code by Nov 7th!
1/4 Our @biorxivpreprint, 'Origin of Ewing Sarcoma by Embryonic Reprogramming of Neural Crest to Mesoderm' is now available on bioRxiv! In this study, we explore the enigmatic origin of Ewing sarcoma using our zebrafish genetic cancer models. We revealed that neural crest cells can uniquely tolerate EWSR1::FLI1 expression, leading to tumor formation in vivo. A big thanks to our collaborators @clairearataphd and @CrumpLab for this adventurous journey! #NeuralCrest#cancer#EwingSarcoma#zebrafish @amatrudalab @ChildrensLA@biorxiv_cancer👉biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
We had an excellent Young Investigators Research Summit this week! 💛
Each year, ALSF partners with @NM_Financial to bring together Young Investigators, ‘A’ Awardees and Center of Excellence Scholars to meet with other grantees funded by ALSF. Attendees learn about the latest childhood cancer research, connect with leaders in the field, explore ideas for collaboration and learn from expert speakers through poster sessions and panel discussions.
Thank you Northwestern Mutual for hosting the summit at your headquarters in Milwaukee this year!
Submit an abstract by November 15 for the AACR Special Conference on Functional and Genomic Precision Medicine in Cancer (March 11-13, Boston), chaired by Anthony Letai, Elaine Mardis, Peter Horak, and Alice Soragni.

For those finterested in the science bit, Kevin will be giving a talk about his work in the Richardson Lab @UoBPPN at the ECI Plenary Session on Wednesday! Lots of great talks during this session 🐟
We ❤️ MODs!
Want an easy way to support model organism databases? Cite them!
Depending on the #zebrafish data you retrieve from
@ZFINmod, you can show your support by using one of the formats below:
ALT Citing ZFIN. We recommend the following formats for citing ZFIN in publications. For a general reference to the database, cite Bradford et al. 2022. For citing a specific entry in ZFIN: [Type of] data for this paper were retrieved from ZFIN, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97404-5274; URL: http://zfin.org/; [the date you retrieved the data cited].
Model Organism Databases are more than just repositories 🧬🐟🐀🐸🪰🌱

Thank you @nationwidekids and @vironexis and especially my outstanding laboratory team at NCH including Mark Currier, Brian Hutzen, Pin-Yi Wang, Chun-Yu Chen, & Andrea Glaspell for making great progress so far! vironexis.com
So excited to announce that I am going to start my research lab at UT southwestern on January 2025, to study cancer cell state dynamics and epigenetics! Currently recruiting postdocs, research technicians among others! Check out my lab website with the QR code for more info!
