So thrilled about #RadRes2022 Jack Little Legacy Plenary Lecture featuring 2019 Nobel Prize Laureate Bill Kaelin📢🔥

Also glad to snatch #Twitter selfie with @DKirschMDPhD who is introducing the speaker🤗 2/
#RadRes2022

Dr Kaelin starting off with a few pearls of wisdom:

1️⃣ He advises that he actually does not have a PhD🙃

That is good news for some of us that this not a principal #physicianscientist career killer😁

(Though it probably does not hurt 😅)

Biomarkers of clinical radioresistance. Great pleasure to have written this one with @max_diehn @michaelsbinkley Iris Eke @StanfordRadOnc🙏

As @SorenBentzen keeps saying, absolute radioresistance does not exist. You just have to up the dose💪

That is very different from drug response, which is a yes/no situation - where more drug does not give you typically a better response (with caveats 😉)
