I attended a masters defense in cancer research today, which wasn't too far from this.



Its often more complicated than this video, because people often says the crazy science words once then uses an acronym the rest of the talk.

"For the remainder of my talk I want to focus on clathrin-coated-pit invaginations, or CCPI's. Now, CCIP's have been investigated by a number of labs since blah blah blah..."

Which is kind of sad in it's own way. She choose favourites purely on political ideology. Isn't that how bush lost billions of dollars (that simply went missing, nobody knows where) in Iraq, screwed up FEMA (sure his only experience is with a horse club but he stands for the same things we do! Surely that qualifies him!)

Can't some/most Americans see that it's better to select for competence first? Why anyone gives that woman the time of day is beyond me.

So let me get this straight. A guy who earned tens of millions in his lifetime is begging you for money because he was stupid and overspent his means. So you should give him your money instead of say... Homeless people or cancer research?
What a selfish git. This is possibly the most concise explanation of how religion is completely f ed up in the US.
Oh and shouldn't the title be "I don't want a Job, I just want your money." or some similar play on the name Job?

Look, if you can't derive happiness from even two strains of cancer cells being selectively killed off, (without proof of it not working on others) I suspect there is little to derive happiness from. Let's be enthusiastic about this eh?

Look, it's not 2 "strains" of cancer. You don't "catch" these particular "strains" of cancer from someone else like you do with bacteria or viruses. Everyone's cancer is unique to that individual. It's unlikely that someone with breast cancer will have the SAME EXACT mutations as those that spawned the specific cell lines used in the experiment. Plus, No one knows how well these immortal cell lines, grown for generations in petri dishes, correlate with the original cancer in a person. And all they've done so far are some mouse experiments. It's still FAR away and a shitton of money and work required before it can work in people, maaybe. Don't hold your breath.
And again, if this was something to get enthusiastic about, it wouldn't be in the journal "Breast Cancer Research".


We all know that, my point is that there isn't anything inherently negative about these findings, so perhaps deriving a bit of short term happiness from the prospect may be more beneficial to one's overall mental picture. If you're trying to level-set the expectations of those viewing this video, I can say with a reasonable level of certainty that nobody thinks cancer is cured, or even impacted. That being said, I made that post on Sat, when I generally tend to be happier. Now that it's Monday this whole thing sucks. ;-D

First of all, this has only worked on 2 breast cancer cell lines, meaning that it only works for the clones of the cells derived from 2 specific individuals, in an artificial laboratory setting. Will this work in people, and can it be adapted to the myriad of different mutations that cause breast cancer, nobody knows. The paper concludes that they have "outline[d] a new therapeutic approach", which means just that: they have taken the first baby steps towards something that might work, after many, many years and billions and billions of dollars of research..... maybe.

Anyways, nothing to get excited about. If this was a huge Nobel winning breakthrough, it wouldn't have been published in a journal as small as Breast Cancer Research.

But my main point is that Obama did not receive the Peace Prize FOR his deeds so far, but rather that his actions symbolize a sentiment that the Nobel Committee want to encourage. Whether their judgment is sound, only time will show.


I've done some cancer research. Maybe I should get a Nobel Prize in Medicine because my actions symbolize the sentiment that cancer is bad.

Instead of celebrating human achievement, the Peace prize is used to push the Nobel committee's political agenda. It's a fucking joke when compared to the other categories.

Even ONE doctor not sharing research on this disease justifies this video, one that is far less venomous then I believe you're interpreting it as.


I wouldn't call it venomous, just misinformed. He acts like cancer research is something people simply don't do because they're too lazy or uninterested, when in fact it is one of the most active areas of medical research out there these days. There are multiple massive conferences on these areas every year, but apparently no one there is sharing their research? That's laughable.

Louis is trying to be funny with misinformation, but it just makes him look like he has no idea what he is talking about.

"Im starting to think that atheist are trying to be the "new religion", he say that -"they are not going door to door"- but they are on the street giving flyers".

I got a flyer from a woman about Cancer Research. That's not a religion either. Similarly, if someone were to say that they didn't believe in cancer, I'm sure I'd be justified in calling them stupid too.

You're smarter than that.
