Youre going to get funded. What is the chance the grant is going to get funded . Its about one in six. Traditionally it has been one in three. In the Cancer Institute it is one in 10. Its even lower. You might say we were funding too much stuff before, and we werent putting a tight enough filter on this. The filter is rigorous peer review by experts in the field. Went back and looked. This was in Heart Disease research, but i imagine its true across the board. I can 2001 we were funding a third of the grants back in 2000 when we were funding a third of the grants. Does a grant in the 10th percentile turnout more productive than a grant funded in the 25th percentile . It is. Viewed, so is one better than the other . What happened . Peerreviewed, so is it better than the other . There is not a difference anyone can tell between the 10th percentile and the 25th percentile. They are both great. That shows we are living have to grade science on the table right now. Just at this moment of gr

There are a lot of great law schools not represented on the court. I cannot explain to you why it is this way right now. Except perhaps, you have very ambitious people who go to harvard and yale. People who are thinking this is a goal for them. I think, when president s pick nominees, it helps to say, this person went to one of those law schools. I dont think it matters much that they are from those schools. You do have a point in terms of different life experiences. Justice oconnor, put a great deal of her political experience in the court. That is true people in private practice. People from civil rights backgrounds. Those are relevant questions. Im not sure the fact they all went to elite schools. One was a sharecroppers son. Others were immigrant children. It is not just the elite backgrounds. You may remember that president nixon tried to put someone on the court. When the man was defeated because he was demonstrably unqualified to sit on any courts, a senator from nebraska commen
Instead, harnesses the power of the immune system in the hopes, reawakens it so it recognizes that cancer and can attack the cancer. Those therapies are giving responses in a large fraction of patients with advanced disease. And so, if we begin to combine the targeted therapies going after the genes, harnesses the power of the immune system, i think what you will see over the next 510 years are significant reductions in cancer mortality. We are seeing cap for melanoma. And a variety of other cancers across the board. It sounds extremely complex to do targeted therapy based on specific genetic mutations. I wonder if doctors, it is one thing to be at a great institution, what if you are at some other place . Are doctors able to keep up and provide the kind of care that is made such a difference . Other great institutions, George Washington here in this area and so on and so forth, the issue is really the knowledge gap that you are referring to. It is a significant one. There was a report
