With lung cancer. I couldnt think of any topic more important to producing the best research, to provide the best data needed to build new treatments for our patients. I worked on age dementia. That experience helped me appreciate the art of generating and analyzing my own data and fostered my love of science. I would say this is the best year in my life. That turned out to be true even in hindsight. [laughter] also fostered my belief in opportunities for doing good through science and medicines. Left the lab back then, and then finished medical school, and then did all my clinical training, and then became a medical oncologist, well, i quickly became frustrated. Taking care of patients with cancer is an immense privilege, a wonderful thing to do, and i love the practice of medicine, but i also hated that it felt like a recurring nightmare of giving Cancer Patients the same treatments over and over again and watching it fail. It might remind some of you of that robot that vacuums the f
To be the advocate for science that the governor described. I started my career as an academic Biomedical Researcher as well as a doctor who treated patients with blood cancers for many years. Given my background, i cant think of anything more critical any topic more important than producing the best research to provide the best data that is needed to develop new treatments for our patients. My formative experience in this regard occurred when i took a year between my second and third years of medical school to participate in the hhmi Research Scholars program at nih, where i studied aids dementia. That experience helped me appreciate the art of generating and analyzing research data, my own data, and it really fostered my love of science. Within a few weeks of starting the job, people would ask how i enjoyed working in the lab, and is the best job of my life. That has turned out to be true, even in hindsight. [laughter] it also fostered my belief in the opportunities for doing good th

Not in a bill that guts the environmental protections and simply turns the pumps on. I yield back. The chair the gentleman has yielded. How much time do i have left . T
