7/ We conclude that ecMYC/L/N are recurrent drivers of cross-resistance in SCLC. Shreoshi led a team effort from @jillianmcwise Dr. Luc Girard @stanleylim93 @Hfarsibaf @MarcelloStanzi1 @cbmeador, and many others without twitter handles.

8/ We are grateful to the patients who participated in this research, to @MGHThoracicOnc, and to our funding. This project was launched with @AnnaFaragoMD, guided by Nick Dyson, and inspired by Bruce Johnson, Adi Gazdar and John Minna, who figured most of it out in the 1980's.
