The coauthor of this blog and I recently published and op-ed in the News and Observer about the state of modern cancer research and our thoughts about how young investigators can best join in to move research forward. We focus on the applied side of the process. We ask the question: what can we do to develop chemotherapy we can believe in? The process of writing the article got us excited about participating in the public conversation about medicine, research, and cancer.
To that end, I will be publishing more to this blog. We will include more in depth discussion here of articles that we we write for other media. We're currently working on more Op-Ed articles, but also other article formats that might find a home here on the blog. This may or may not have any lasting efficacy, but all good ideas deserve a proper experiment!
