Who will now live forever as we have cured them of every form of cancer.

I am quite conflicted about science news of this nature. "Study looks interesting!" covers 95% of these stories, but doesn't have the same jazz to it as the headlines we get.

To be honest, I've consumed thousands of these stories. Not a one of them provided information that I ever found valuable. They just took up a few minutes of reading and provided some fodder for online conversation.

I recall a biology seminar speaker [1] saying (only half-jokingly) that we can already cure any disease whatsoever as long as it's in a mouse. It's just the rodent → human transition that's difficult.

[1] Can't remember who exactly. Would have been at the University of Delaware, probably around 2012.
