On behalf of the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC),
I am pleased to introduce to you The Sentinel, our new official blog.
It has long been a goal of SITC’s to provide a space online
for members to network and share their wealth of knowledge with the greater
cancer immunotherapy community on everything from the basic science to the
biggest challenges facing our field.
SITC took a large step forward in this goal in January when
we redesigned our website, SITC Cancer Immunotherapy CONNECT.
Not only did we greatly improve navigation of our website to help users learn
who we are as a membership organization and what it is we do, but we also
launched online communities. These communities allow users to connect to others
interested in the field, from the mass population level in the Open Forum to
the micro level in communities connecting local educational meeting
participants.
Today’s launching of The Sentinel is our next step forward.
The Sentinel will offer content-rich articles written by SITC members, of all
professional backgrounds and experience levels, to serve the greater cancer
immunotherapy community – from patients to clinicians to researchers.
While SITC staff will occasionally author blog articles, the
primary goal of The Sentinel is to provide our members a platform to contribute
their expertise to the overall body of knowledge for the field. I must share
that SITC will take only a light approach in editing content submitted by
member authors. The views and information shared by our members in their blogs do
not necessarily represent the official views of the society. If you disagree
with a statement or feel you can add to the information presented, I encourage
you to join the discussion, either directly on the blog post or in our general
discussion community, the OpenForum.
I hope you find the content on this blog useful and
informative. I look forward to reading what it is our members have to say.
Happy blogging!
Tara Withington
Executive Director
