Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is ongoing right now in the city of Al Capone.  And 17,000 cancer biologists, oncologists and just about anyone interested in the cancer research have taken over the Chicago downtown which means that there is a tsunami of oncology-related information and much to learn.  


Here is what has bubbled to the top and comes through the much-appreciated efforts of a handful of people who have shared this distilled knowledge via twitter.  These include Pieter Droppert @NT, Naoto T. Ueno @teamoncology, @JNCI_Now,  Scott Merville‏ @smerv ,  David Woessner‏ @pinfoto , Kenna Shaw‏ @wyattsgirl, and others.
