🎓 Congratulations to the 14 scientists who graduated from the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSK) this year! Last year GSK also launched a first-of-its-kind PhD program — the Pat and Ian Cook Doctoral Program in Cancer Engineering. The inaugural class joined GSK in the fall of 2024. The commencement address was given by Nobel laureate Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi, a professor of chemical and systems biology and of radiology at Stanford University. Dr. Bertozzi was presented with the MSK Medal for Outstanding Contributions to Biomedical Science. Dr. Miguel Francisco de Jesus, who conducted his thesis research in the lab of Dr. Morgan Huse, was this year's student speaker. “We are probably not going to be the kinds of scientists that our mentors have been," he shares. "Although we gladly walk in their footsteps and stand on top of their shoulders.” Learn more about this year's GSK graduates and their accomplishments: https://bit.ly/4jZBlZ9 (fb)

ICYMI: Nick Kroll shares what makes MSK's Comedy vs Cancer benefit show so special. "As someone who is incredibly incapable of doing anything but tell jokes, this is a great opportunity for us to do a small part." (fb)
