Back to School

I'll be spending the next 2-1/2 days in the classroom, hoping that my non-affinity for science won't be too great a hurdle as I take crash courses in biology, epidemiology, genetics, and more.

This is not a precursor to med school, I can assure you.

I'll be attending the National Breast Cancer Coalition's Project LEAD Workshop, a mini version of NBCC's more intensive five-day Project LEAD Institute, both of which are designed to equip laypeople to become community advocates for better breast-cancer research.

I have been wanting to participate in Project LEAD for quite some time and applied (unsuccessfully) to the full-blown Institute several years ago. The new Workshop is an open-enrollment program, and I'm really pleased to be able to take part.

Wish me luck!

Certainly, good luck with it. Let us know if there's anything we can make sense of.
