Conversations in Science with Dan Rather and Harold Varmus: From Oncogenes to PLOS
www.ibiology.org/profiles/plos
Dr. Harold Varmus talks to Dan Rather about his journey from literature major to scientist, and from the discovery of oncogenes to creating PLoS. Varmus reflects on his time as a researcher, as Director of the NIH, and on the importance of open communication in science. He ends by emphasizing why good science communication is important to engage more people in conversations about science.

Inclusion of Minorities in Science and Medicine // An Inclusive Future

    In science we are often attracted towards the exotic. But sometimes curiosity drives you to the mundane. When you uncover a layer in the mundane and find something puzzling, that tells you that we actually don't quite understand the mundane. 😊😊😊😊 These lines are so moving. I bought a microscope just because of this line. Thank you.

      I made the same judgment like yours in the beginning. However after working in medical research for 30 years, I changed my opinion. First, in the olden days, the system was very different. Banting may have the idea but he had no funding, no laboratory space and facilities of his own. He needed someone to provide him all of the above and McLeod did exactly that. Without McLeod, Banting may not be able to do any of his work. So in fact for him to show McLeod off by proposing his student Best as a co-winner was not very nice, to put it mildly, to being ungrateful to his benefactor Dr, McCleod. Today, the head of the research lab is called the Principal Investigator, P.I. He/she is responsible for applying for research grants. He/she owns the grant money and hires people to work under him/her. So in today's standard, McCleod was the P. I. who provided Banting with lab space, funding for equipments, dogs and even a student called Best. Some principal investigators work closely with their people and some don't, depending on different situations. But irrespective of who produce the results and who wrote up the paper, the principal investigator's name is always put as the 'last author', if you understand what it means to be called the 'last author' of a research paper. It means he/she is the principal investigator, he/she owns the grant that funds the research, he/she oversees the whole research and signs off the paper, he/she puts his/her reputation at stake on the paper. In today's standard, Dr, McLeod is the principal investigator and the 'last author' of Banting's paper/ work/ achievement. Principal Investigators own the labs, own the grants and every bit of equipment in the lab. They do not usually or necessarily carry out the work themselves. They supervise students, post doctorates and research associates (many of them are Ph. D's) to carry out the projects. In turn, Research associates and students often delegate their work to technicians. So it's a group effort. It's not the glory of one person.

    I was diagnosed in my late 20s and had a hard time coping with the fact that 100 years ago i would have withered away and died without this miracle drug. I felt like i was cheating death because so many before me suffered and did die, and i was just lucky enough to be born after this discovery became accessible. I still feel that way.. but it makes me all the more grateful for my fellow man that took the time to research and develop this treatment

    Went out yesterday morning and “realized” things were eerily quiet…. No birds….no squirrels …no barking… nothing…stopped in my tracks …hair on the back of my neck on end….suddenly a loud “swooping” …wings flapping ….noise broke the silence and a very large hawk came out from where ever it had been hiding and with laser like precision “pounced?” On a bird that had been hiding camouflaged in some limbs…a small storm of feathers afterwards the hawk flew off …its prey in its claws. The natural movements and noise began shortly there after. The question I had this morning listening to this…. Was not just how do we “remember” but how do we “know” what we don’t know we know…. Like the sea turtle “knowing” where the sea is? “Deathly quiet” suddenly took on a new meaning….despite my intuitive knowledge of its significance. Great interview… should be required viewing….more for the teachers than the students.
