Kimryn Rathmell: To the Trainees: The future NCI Director is one of you

Wafik S. El-Deiry, Director of the Legorreta Cancer Center at Brown University, shared a post on X/Twitter:

“The NCI Director, Kimryn Rathmell, recounts career as a physician-scientist, one of us, who never expected the honor of leading the NCI but “Here I am”.

“To the Trainees: The future NCI Director is one of you.”

Shout out to Dr. Steve Rosenberg. Spoke about the National Cancer Plan with its 8 goals. “We need to think and act more boldly”.

Budgetary challenges, brain drain. Spoke directly to those at AACR for first time. “We listen to you”, to the veterans. “Talk to the younger scientists”, “Be open to new ideas”, “Think about the future; next generation” and “Connect”.”
