Mashup Score: 7Activity, Metabolites, and Breast Cancer - 8 month(s) ago
A new study by Dr. Eleanor Watts and investigators in the Metabolic Epidemiology Branch explores how physical activity influences metabolic pathways and how these changes might lower breast cancer risk. Higher physical activity was associated with a broad range of metabolic adaptations, highlighting potential role of fatty acid metabolism in breast cancer prevention.

Mashup Score: 12Recognizing First-Generation STEM Scholars at NCI and Beyond - 8 month(s) ago
Inclusivity Minute on First Generation Scholars: The term “first-generation college student” in the U.S. refers to individuals whose parents or guardians did not earn a four-year bachelor’s degree. This definition originated in the Higher Education Act of 1965 to establish universal admission criteria for TRIO programs supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds in their educational pursuits. First-generation scholars navigate a journey distinct from their parents, often encountering challenges beyond academics.
