Median survival went from 6 months to 13 months. It may not sound like much, but for metastatic pancreatic cancer, this is big, IMO. We finally have something solid to build on in this field.

This spot sits just east of Holland, my hometown. I used to drive this route a lot. The lake effect whiteouts would appear like walls in the distance. Inside was blinding whether day or night. I remember the routine: flipping on the hazard lights, driving white knuckled, and praying until Exit 55.

Very disappointing to hear this -- Chrystal shared concerns about this being the result during an interview in Feb. about UNC's cancer research efforts being threatened in a variety of ways. The Starbird Lab does some fascinating work, and you can read about the exact kinds of treatment it's aiding.

I agree-it’s all hands on deck. I’ve done 13 interviews since this started (NPR, NewNation, CBS, Bloomberg, BBC, etc.) and should have more scheduled. It’s been tough but so worth it, and they need more voices. IMO, silence is not an option.

Our research is not only contributing to scientific advancement, but also powering the economy.
Universities are not just centers of learning; they are pivotal drivers of innovation, contributing significantly to economic development. In the United States, leading research universities fuel economic growth and drive innovation, serving as economic engines for their communities and regions.

A recent report, “The Economic Contribution of University/Nonprofit Inventions in the United States: 1996-2020”, highlights the significant return US taxpayers receive on their investment in federally funded research. Over a 25-year period, inventions from universities and nonprofits—through patents and licensing to industry—helped drive up to $1.9 trillion in gross output for US industries, contributed up to $1 trillion to the nation’s GDP, and supported as many as 6.5 million jobs. This isn’t just research for research’s sake—it’s real economic impact on a national scale.

Overhead rates, also known as indirect costs, are essential for funding the infrastructure that supports research activities. These costs encompass expenses such as laboratory maintenance, utilities, administrative support, and compliance with federal regulations. Without adequate overhead funding, universities would struggle to provide the necessary environment for cutting-edge research, a loss for science, innovation, and the economy.
