The GLP-1 drugs are the most important drug class breakthrough in medical history. We're still learning how they have such broad impact, especially about their anti-inflammatory effects, systemically and in the brain

Noteworthy progress in cancer treatment.
Not long ago, KRAS, one of the most important driver mutations, was considered undruggable (i.e. no Rx).
Now there are 2 drugs approved and this discovery of a single molecule that inactivates 13 of 17 of KRAS's most common mutations @ScienceMagazine

A feminist framework for cancer. It’s time.

[richard horton @richardhorton1]

Our approach to women at risk of—and who live with—cancer needs to change. 2.3 million women die prematurely from cancer each year. Why? Because “patriarchy dominates cancer care, research, and policy making.” Power is life.

The measure of your intelligence is not your ability to acquire knowledge but how you handle uncertainty and navigate through it and behave when you don't know what to do.

News reporters talk about “the migrants” as if they are some kind of alien species. Those risking their lives to come to the UK are people—men, women, and children. Please stop using this othering word and refer to them as they are—our fellow human beings.

Major investment in science infrastructure, human resource training and education will enable Africa to lead from the front in ensuring more Africans lead productive and healthier lives. And together we can!
