Science: American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting 2019 (upcoming 3/29-4/3)

AACR annual meeting for 2019 is coming up on 3/29-4/3 in Atlanta, GA. Although I am not going to the meeting, a postdoc fellow will be presenting a poster on my behalf.

We sent a PDF to our University's printing service on Tuesday. Now they offer fabric poster, instead of paper. Fabric is supposed to be tougher (tear-resistant) and fold-compatible (leaves no crease), thus has no need to be carried around in cumbersome poster tube during travel. An improvement.

The printing was done in a few hours, and the poster was ready by yesterday (Wednesday). We as a group have four posters. We had a little presentation practice-mock question session for preparation.

I'm sure the Dr. Postdoc fellow will do well.  (No pressure)


There are a few people going from our group. On their return they will report this year's trend and notable presentation relevant to our work. I wonder if something new that I have been overlooking is coming up.

An internal grant application requesting $45k is about to be submitted. Once it is done, a revision of a manuscript, then revising the poster-related work (concerning cancer-immune interaction), await.

There are always things to do. It is not bad.
