NOT TO SCALE. (COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY)
If your understanding of immuno-oncology has been hampered by a lack of illustrative doodles, you are in luck: Neil Canavan, the scientific adviser at Solebury Trout, has amassed a compendium of expert-drawn cartoons that explain CTLA-4, PD-1, and other alphanumeric science things.



You can see them here.



One such drawing comes courtesy of Jim Allison, an oncologist at Houston’s MD Anderson who just won a Nobel Prize, and today happens to mark your chance to ask him anything.



At 11:30 a.m. ET, Allison will sit down for a live chat with STAT’s Sharon Begley to answer your questions about his work, the future of immuno-oncology, and, if you’re interested, why he shelled out for a science-inspired vanity plate.
