I was a visiting professor at University of California, Irvine on Thursday and Friday. I really appreciated the hospitality of my host, Ellis Levin, who has been a leader in studying the membrane—and mitochondrial forms of the estrogen receptor. Southern California is really beautiful this time of the year, too.
This weekend was the two-day, 39-mile Avon Walk for breast cancer. I am awed and deeply appreciative of all the tireless work and commitment of the Georgetown Lombardi/CBCC team, and thankful for everyone who has shown their support of the team in various ways. Way to go, and I hope those blisters heal quickly!
If you have a chance, check out the wonderful newly renovated lobby and waiting area of the clinic. And, there are more renovations to come! We were able to show off the new look last week at a lovely reception in the lobby last Tuesday for the American Cancer Society, celebrating the flagship sponsors and participants of the ACS Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk last October. ACS has been a great partner for Georgetown Lombardi and it was terrific to have such a nice venue for the event.
Don’t forget to attend the Tumor Biology Program’s mini-poster session Monday at 5 pm on the fourth floor of the New Research Building. If you missed the fabulous science presented a few weeks ago during the Georgetown Lombardi Research Days, this is your chance to catch up on some really impressive presentations.
