This blog is a place where I will translate interesting findings in biomedical and basic science research from scientific jargon to plain old English. The bottom line: You don't need a PhD to understand science!

On "sabbatical" fighting lymphoma

Cancer at 29...not what I was expecting... If you'd like to follow my progress fighting this disease, you can read about my experiences at www.mylymphomalog.blogspot.com. Thank you for your support!
