I was recently in a conference about synthetic biological approaches to deal with cancer. The only quote I wrote down was "this approach kills cancer in a petri dish, but so does a shotgun"

All that time thinking it was a funny inside joke in the biological community and someone ripped it off an xkcd. Of course they did. That's hilarious.

But won’t the thimerosal in the cancer vaccine give everyone autism? Cancer is better than autism!

/s (duh)

Curing (or at least improving our treatments for) cancer would be great. There's a small part of me that absolutely does not want to see it happen within the next few years because of the current administration. It'd still be an overwhelmingly good thing to accomplish but I dread the future arguments over the time Dr. Don and Bobby got together in the lab to cure cancer through the power of Jesus, bootstraps and grit.

Sweet baby Jesus, is this it? Is this finally the cure for cancer that everyone's been waiting for?

Sounds great, but don't get excited, it's not for you. It will be priced so that poorz can't afford it, like 5-15 mil a pop
