Did you know aspirin may stop cancer spread? Yep. Aspirin. But how? When cancer cells break away from a tumor to spread (metastasize), they're easier to kill. A primary tumor protects its cells like a mama hen, but once they leave the "nest," they're vulnerable. In a recent study published in Nature, researchers tried to take advantage of this vulnerability by blocking certain enzymes with medications like aspirin, which essentially boosted immunity to cancer spread. This preliminary study was done on mice, but confirmation with future research may give us yet another tool to our cancer-fighting belt. What areas of research interest you? **Abstract linked in comments.**

I'd love to know... What's your favorite form of social media? I love to scroll through TikTok for my daily dose of alarming world news punctuated by hilarious comedians or pet videos. But, honestly, my favorite social at the moment is...LinkedIn. (I *swear* they didn't pay me to say that--but I'm open to it.??) Five years ago, if you would have told me I'd be on LinkedIn every single day, finding invaluable friendships and running a successful business, I would have given you the proverbial side eye. But here I am! Thanks for making it a great place to be! ??

What's your favorite topic to write about? I've discovered I love writing about sleep, but I also love exploring mental health topics. Working on a piece this week about how to handle family conflicts during the post-election holiday season... ?? Got some great nuggets from a fantastic clinical psychologist so hopefully my readers can go to those gatherings with a little less anxiety! How about you? #Health #HealthContent #Nurse #NurseWriter #Writer #Freelance #FreelanceWriter?#HealthWriter

What are you working on this week? Anything you're extra jazzed about? I've been doing more psychiatric content and it's been incredibly interesting. Also writing some nursing news pieces -- always fun to keep up with what's going on in the nursing world. #Health #HealthContent #Nurse #NurseWriter #Writer #Freelance #FreelanceWriter?#HealthWriter
