“Everything would have been 180° different if Beau had lived — there’s no question,” said one close associate of the family who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private family matters. “I don’t think Hunter’s life goes off the rails. If Beau wasn’t president of the United States now, he’d be on his way to it. And Joe Biden would never have been president. He would be happily retired.”
…One of the most lucrative temptations was…the paid speech circuit, but #Biden’s circle knew it would risk a hit to his reputation, given the controversy that erupted over speeches HillaryClinton gave to GoldmanSachs & other WallSt groups.
Just about to hop on the treadmill to run 5k. This will be my last training run before Saturday’s charity race. It’s traditional to wear pink at these #CancerResearchUK Race for Life events, so I have a pink racer top, some incredibly bright neon pink leggings, and a pink tutu. After the run my face will also be a cheerful shade of pink. It’s not too late to sponsor me!

The gross imbalances of cancer research must be addressed - Global cancer-research ecosystems invest billions of dollars in the development of oncological medicines and technologies, such as robotics and radiotherapy, yet comparatively little into programmes that aim to advance affordable, equitable and high-quality care and outcomes. The extraordinary growth in public and private expenditure on cancer discovery science and technologies, fuelled by the huge profits of cancer biopharmaceutical companies, has failed to create more opportunities for research in neglected areas. #Cancer#CancerCare#CancerResearch#BigPharma#researchhttps://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02609-2
THE UK Nation Cancer Research Institute is closing down. Not good for Britain's role as a science research centre which Sunak claims to be so keen about.
"UK facing ‘brain drain’ of cancer researchers after failure to join EU scheme"
This piece focuses on principal investigators (i.e., grant holders). The bulk of scientific research work is carrried out by postdocs and other soft-money researchers, and the effect on them of Brexit and the removal of free movement needs addressing.
There appears to be zero political will to finalise UK association to Horizon Europe.

Tonight I hosted a screening and discussion of “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks”. Everything worked technically and there was a good audience. I am very grateful for my chemistry students who came and contributed to the conversation.
Even if you don’t know Henrietta’s story, you’ve probably benefited from her cells. You can read the excellent book (by the same name) or this: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/henrietta-lacks.
