Thursday, January 17, 2008 :::
I saw a few moderately-highly-placed stories yesterday saying that cancer researcher Judah Folkman had died. I had two reactions to this: one, that I've never heard of him, and, two, that we should honor people who make sizable contributions to cancer research, at least as much as we honor politicians and celebrities. I wish I had known his name, and I wish I would know his name three months from now.
Derek Lowe can tell you what he did. May you or I do something a tenth as worthwhile with our days on Earth.
