![]() What we’re going to do is we actually did a little bit of planning for the homework, and the way it’s going to work, and actually it’s a good excuse for me to say a little bit about how the course is gonna go for a while, and this is actually substantive. Here’s one, and I – it has to do with the homework. Let’s see, a couple of more administrative things. So those office hours, at least in my case will kick in – have to kick in next week, but look to the website for that. If you’re in this department, you know full well. If you’re not in this department you’ll – you actually – you cannot even imagine what this week is like, but just look around you and you’ll get the idea. Now this week, of course, is chaos week, otherwise known as the equals’ week. I’ll add office hours for myself, and for the TA’s. What do you think? Yeah? Oh, that was a yes, oh, okay. We have our own conjectures, but if anyone has any other?įor example, in my case I might add them Tuesday and/or Thursday afternoons. ![]() I don’t think we can pull that off yet, but we’re going to do something like that, and in fact, I do have some questions.Īlso I’m going to add office hours for myself, and we don’t know – we’re trying to figure out what – I don’t know, if people have opinions about where we should distribute the office hours, so I don’t know. We now have – since we now have essentially like an army of TA’s, we’ll – we can have – we were joking about just having office hours like 24/7. What we’ll be doing is adding more office hours both for them. This is Argerio Zimnus, who is sleeping, as most senior PhD students would be at this hour, and Cwong Mo Co is over here. A couple of announcements, I’ll start with a bunch of administrative things. I’ve never missed an entire first week, and I promise I won’t miss any more classes, maybe, mostly, it’s – anyway, I’ll make a very – if I miss anymore classes, it’ll be for a really, really good reason.Īnyway, you were in very good hands with Jacob, so that’s okay. I’ve – actually, for the record, I’ve never done that before. And I have to apologize for not being here last week. So actually, first of all, embarrassingly, I guess I have to introduce myself even though it’s the second week. Now I guess I’ll take that as the – as a sign that we’re on. I am riding to salute both my brothers who each loved bicycling, to celebrate (with your help) raising a generous amount of money, and to acknowledge that progress in cancer will ripple through other diseases and promote breakthroughs.Instructor (Stephen Boyd):All right. And in 2022, some of my own cells went awry, and I will stradle my saddle this year without a prostate. In 2021, I lost my 68-year-old brother David to ALS. My rides began as a tribute to my brother, Art, who died of lung cancer at 49, nineteen years ago. ![]() And gains in immunology focused on cancer led to important vaccines employed during the pandemic. That is, gains in cancer research often infuses understanding into other diseases. When oncologic science is celebrated, for example, mRNA vaccines can be derived because science cross-polinates itself! This year, I am riding in my 19th Pan Mass Challenge. ![]() Over the past few years, one of our collective observations is that science really matters. But Art's summation of his diagnosis echoes true.) Unfortunately, his sentiment was unoriginal. (Don't get me wrong: Art was born with a positive attitude, and it sustained him during his illness and in a manner that continues to inspire me. That's how my brother Art, who died in 2003, summed up his diagnosis of lung cancer. ![]()
