- What a pleasure it was to host @leilaakkari.bsky.social at @einsteinmededu.bsky.social for the DMB Seminar. It was amazing to listen to how TME in HCC and Glioblastoma impact macrophages and how to explore this to reduce immunosuppression and improve therapeutics. Thank you for your generosity.🤗

- Reposted by Sofia de Oliveira, Ph.D.I got the NSF GRFP notification at 2am. I remember crying because it was the first hint that I might actually belong in science. That fellowship carried me through grad school and made my NIH policy internship possible. I wouldn’t be here without it. #WithoutNSF
- Reposted by Sofia de Oliveira, Ph.D.ASHG is concerned about the research cuts in the proposed U.S. FY26 budget, forecasting substantial reductions to the NIH and other agencies. We urge the U.S. Congress to reject this proposal and maintain support for life-saving biomedical research. Read More: www.ashg.org/publications... #ASHG

- Reposted by Sofia de Oliveira, Ph.D.Trump’s executive order on accreditation is yet another attempt to dictate what is taught, learned, & said by college instructors & students. Threats to remove accreditors are transparent attempts to consolidate power in the hands of the administration in order to stifle teaching & research. 🧵
- Inequality was once the norm—business as usual for the world. Then, humanity had a lightbulb moment: “Wait a minute… we’re all humans! Maybe we should have equal rights! Let’s write some laws, protect people’s rights, and make the world better!” We were thrilled. Hopeful. Proud.
- Reposted by Sofia de Oliveira, Ph.D.“Cowardice is contagious — so is courage.” “That’s what we’ve been seeing month after month... Starting with some people demonstrating courage, and then other people looking around and saying I can do that, too. It’s in my power. I’m not just a victim of world events.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social

- A stand ovation to this remarkable piece that should bring everyone to the reality and vanish from good, from high education institutions, the intent of those that have been privileged since ever to stay in power and deceive the weak minds. DEI real threat isn't merit, it's inded the monopoly! 👏🏽💯
- A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...
- Reposted by Sofia de Oliveira, Ph.D.For a lot of trans Catholics, Pope Francis offered hope for acceptance and at a minimum, dignity for us.
