What Feynman forgot to elaborate on is that after the guess you make on what’s right, and you present it to your University administrators, they can take your guess and pass it along to whomever they believe should proceed with the experimental proof, with the original creator been thrown off the boat of discovery.

Let’s continue with this conversation openly and transparently.
What was meant @nytimes Michael Lauer labeling my whistleblower activity reported to him as “hyper competitive” behavior on my part?
If today’s Davids beat Goliaths in open forum, but overseeing regulators you don’t approve of the results, do they have the right to make the competition landscape and the results invalid?
Who is harmed by the government officials playing favorites and calling foul when it’s actually the government officials colluding with the government subsidized entity that’s doing the fouling?
How is the public harmed by that subterfuge?
How was the public (and the entire landscape of “oncology”harmed in MY particular case?

Anonymous Tsunami:
In 2009, I presented to the world key evidence for a unified theory on the origin (pathogenesis) and evolution (progression) of lung cancers, AND how to best diagnose and treat it. It was a presentation that both criticized the process by which molecular discoveries to advance the science of medicine were being made, and an approach to make that fundamental process better.
I was canceled for that publication (a public presentation of a novel conceptualization or a new idea), exiled from the community of professional physician-scientists and forced out of the physician-scientist (translational medicine) labor force.
Ironically, the individual who orchestrated that separation was the very individual who had recruited me to UCLA Achool of Medicine with that exact purpose, and benefitted most from my presence there for 20 years.
Nevertheless, since I was closer to the truth (the deep understanding of a complex problem) than any of my contemporary peers and colleagues and supervisors, my word and my knowledge lives on without me. It’s simply in the process of being converted into something that is “self-evident.” I am very happy that’s happening, but the moment and the circumstances are bittersweet in that it’s occurring without added contributions from the original artist who created that theory, and who continues to carry a clearer vision of the disease process of lung cancers than anyone in the world. So, in that respect, there’s a bigger story that needs to be told.

This baby is visually impaired, and then he was given additional glasses, so he could see clearly. His smile when he saw his mother and father clearly😍

@jbcarmody Completely agree. DOs graduate with ~$60,000 more debt than MDs on average (source: https://t.co/9Mja62pmmt). We know cost of education is a barrier to many pursuing medicine- this rec to “foster a more diverse and inclusive environment” seems a bit misguided. @AACOMmunities
RIP to one of the modern giants of public health. Dr. Farmer’s work in Haiti inspired me to major in Global Health as an undergrad. He was the standard for what it means to serve others with empathy and compassion
Partners In Health announced that its founder, Dr. Paul Farmer, unexpectedly passed away today in his sleep while in Rwanda.
Dr. Farmer was 62 years old. He is survived by his wife, Didi Bertrand Farmer, and their three children.
