It is too bad Joe lost his son to cancer and it is too bad it took a personal tragedy to get him and Obama revved up against cancer. Unfortunately, the cancer business has grown into a massive global industry which generates too much money for too many people to just find a cure and everyone goes home. That will never happen. The genie is long out of the bottle.

I really would like to solve this data siloization problem so we have a team of people in Pittsburgh trying to create a “Data Commons”…I would be happy to keep the community up to date on our progress.
