Oyepeju Abioye: Electrifying speech by Ophira Ginsburg at The Lancet Commission on Women, Power and Cancer

Ophira Ginsburg shared a post by Oyepeju Abioye, Research Assistant at Florez Lab, on X:

“Thanks for your support!!”

Quoting Oyepeju Abioye‘s post:

You could hear a pin drop during this electrifying speech by Ophira Ginsburg at The Lancet Commission on Women, Power and Cancer. We absolutely need to do better in cancer research, policy making, representation of women in oncology leadership and the care of women with cancer.
