Wise words of optimism and vision from a true visionary who has been right most of the time. We all got through the 1960’s and early 70’s that also divided the country in seemingly terminal ways, but this remarkable country continues to mature, to grow, and to thrive.
America at 250. Amazing. Flawed. Amazing. Founded by risk takers and religious extremists. For the young, watch the people from everywhere in the World marveling at our Freedom, the Beauty. The Openness. The Freedom to speak. To Protest. To fly the Flag. Even the Unity. Maybe you actually do not understand what you have.View quoted post on X
Those on the far left that want to take it away and far right intolerance will lose. We defeated kings. We are one of the two civilizations in History to END slavery that was practiced by all nations of every creed and color for thousands of years. We saved the world from tyranny. Twice. Won the cold war, defeated the idiocy of socialism and communism.
We are the only country where the children of immigrants will out earn the average. Our innovation has fueled the world. Brought billions out of poverty. Ignited the age of information and AI. The great nations copy us-Imitation is the best form of flattery.
We are ALL the children and grandchildren of immigrants. We will survive governments you hate, and you forget that governments in USA matter far less that a free people, in a beautiful, bountiful land, where we are imperfect for sure, but good hearted.
We need to reject the hatred and division spewed on the left and intolerance on the right and amplified by social media. 80 percent of the country is just fine. Building families, searching for opportunity, defending the weak. Standing up in a complicated and messy world. 250 years of vision. Many years left. So many count us out, and we survive and thrive and lead.

@MITBiology research on molecular & biochem. determinants of neoplastic cell transformation led 2 discovery of the 1st functionally validated human oncogene (Ras) '79-'81. Paved the way 4 this wk’s Phase 3 #pancreaticcancer #pancsm data re: daraxonrasib $RVMD. ≈ 90% of pancreatic cancer cases are KRAS-driven. Amgen’s sotorasib (Lumakras) FDA approval in 2021 was the 1st FDA-approved KRAS inhibitor. Dr. Bob Weinberg is arguably the most influential cancer biologist of the last 50 yrs.
Outstanding comments…definitely the same for CML, getting there in GIST, low grade lymphocytic lymphomas…others? Would make a great review article for an oncology fellow to write.
People often ask how breakthroughs occur in cancer biology-often the story is more complex - the survival plot for myeloma outcomes is extraordinary - improvements come about in incremental steps - in my lifetime treatment of Myeloma has almost transformed into a curable diseaseView quoted post on X
