@sfuscience Quick heads-up, just calling your attention to @PublicKnowledgeProject at #SFU. Maybe some cross-promotion opportunities there.

What idiot put #SFU on top of a mountain and do they still live within shouting distance?

@PublicKnowledgeProject Awesome to see you guys around! #SFU

Good luck, I hope an upcoming step is an official SFU fediverse presence, ideally a server run by the university.

Chemotherapy is a life-saving treatment for many cancer patients. Unfortunately, many cancer drugs also cause cancer cells to mutate, which over time leads them to become more aggressive and harder to treat. #SFU Molecular Biology and Biochemistry researcher Mani Larijani is exploring new ways to address this problem: https://www.sfu.ca/science/news/2023-news/mbb-researcher-studying-against-the-grain-strategy-to-improve-ca.html #sfuscience #molecularbiology #oncology #cancer
