I still have too few words to express the heartbreak, but also need too many words to capture what @taniguchiMD was to us. He was a scientist’s scientist and a doctor’s doctor - simply the best. So instead, a tweetorial of things I learned from him over the last 8 years:

5. Be “one of the good ones.” He used this phrase to describe mentors, trainees, or collaborators. It had a specific meaning that those of us in his lab understood. My lab handbook opens with the following text - a detailed description of how to be “one of the good ones.”

1. Dream Big. One of our first meetings, he brainstormed with me. I would throw out an idea. “That’s too small. Dream Big,” he said. Another. “Bigger.” That’s getting expensive. “No problem.” It was always First, get excited about the science. Second, figure out how to do it.

Recently, a postdoc candidate reached out to me, but her work was more in line with Cullen’s - so I sent her to him. Last week, I got this follow up email from her. It’s remarkable because it’s NOT remarkable. This sounds just like mine and many others’ first encounters with him.

I watched him do this for one person after another - help them move towards what they were good at until they figured it out for themselves, and then the door was in front of them because he’d been pushing them towards it. I know many trainees will recognize this feeling.

I know I’m not supposed to pick favorites, but this might be my favorite thing our lab is doing right now. Come visit Rui Wang at her poster to see how she’s growing patient derivoid cervical cancer organoids from non-invasive cytobrushes! #RadRes2022

@VinayPrasadMD @dlawtao Completely agree- but I would also add that it’s not necessarily a failure of medical student/ resident educational systems, but a difficulty in finding people able/ willing to teach fundamental statistics in a way students can understand!

Wonderful to see the latest adjuvant #pancreaticcancer data at ASCO. The PRODIGE-24 trial showed 54 month mOS for mFOLFIRINOX and almost doubling of DFS. I hope to see these kinds of numbers continue in pancreatic cancer trials!
