Struggling with phone or social media use? Try a family media plan: • No screens in the bedroom at night • Turn phones off (not just silent) • Keep mealtimes screen-free • Model healthy habits Grateful to @nytimes for featuring our @UCSF research. nytimes.com/2026/04/30/techn…

Struggling With Phone Addiction? Try These Remedies.

Counting minutes is a poor way to curb phone habits. Real antidotes, experts say, include mindful parenting, curated content and human connection.

Potentially game-changing cancer discovery out of @UCSF — scientists have developed a method of reprogramming a patient's immune cells to fight cancer directly inside the body 🧬 bit.ly/40SyMjJ

Scientists create cancer-fighting immune cells right in the body

A new form of CAR T kills leukemia, multiple myeloma, and sarcoma in mice, opening the door to a future off-the-shelf cancer treatment without chemotherapy.

In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, I visited @UCSF @UCSFChildrens to see the world-class care and groundbreaking research leading the fight against pediatric cancer. Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death for kids ages 1–14. That’s why we’re reaffirming California’s commitment to fighting childhood cancer, supporting families, and working toward a cure. Thank you to the incredible UCSF team for your dedication and compassion.
