I really wish people would stop saying “F cancer”

As a society, we have the option of greatly reducing cancer deaths whenever we so choose. Let’s do that rather than raging against something that feels nothing.

It has been over 15 years since the Last Lecture and we still have done little for pancreatic cancer, for example.

According to Craig Venter, early detection is what we need to eliminate cancer: https://youtu.be/iUqgTYbkHP8?t=15m37s

No one is saying it’s going to be easy but we’re going to make a lot of progress over the next 25 years. Let’s decide to do more sooner.
