Last night I was bored and turned on the t.v., not really expecting to find anything interesting to watch (we don't have cable), and I stumbled upon a PBS program about a new cancer drug, IT-101. The show chronicled the story of a chemical engineer who was moved to help his wife battle breast cancer. His scientific journey and discoveries resulted in a nanoparticle drug just now finishing Phase I clinical trials.
I am not a scientist but I was fascinated by this story and awed by the drug's success. The Q & A with the drug's creator is very interesting, and the episode itself is engrossing, especially if cancer has ever touched your life.
