Susan G. Komen Scholar Series
March, 12, 2020 - Kevin Roarty was the Keynote Speaker for the Susan G. Komen Scholar Series of the North & West Texas Chapter. It was a pleasure to meet the organizers, patients, and advocates during this special event. It was also nice to be able to share our research on breast cancer, communicate how Susan G. Komen supports our research endeavors on metastasis and therapeutic resistance, and educate the community on why supporting science is so important. Very inspiring to be a part of this event.
Breast Disease Research Seminar Series
June 10, 2020 - Kevin Roarty gave the first Virtual Talk for the Breast Disease Workshop of the Baylor College of Medicine Lester and Sue Smith Breast Center. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, it was good to be able to engage with some great colleagues. We had some great questions and are looking forward to pursuing some new directions in our research. I clearly need to work on my camera angle!
