Science is telling us that we can do phenomenal things if we put our minds and our resources to it.

Certainly the support for research in HIV/AIDS was good in the Clinton administration, good in the Bush administrations. It just was.

Better ways to diagnose, treat and prevent E. coli 0157:H7 infections are badly needed.

Activism has been very productive in our society.

Exposures, if they are mild, in the sense of barely just a small concentration, it's mostly an irritant, particularly the peroxides, that in that smoke would irritate the skin or even irritate the lungs. So, for the most time, it could be either just a little bit of a nuisance irritant, or if you get a really big whiff of it, particularly people who have, for example, reversible airways disease, like asthma or different types of hypersensitivity diseases, you could get a serious problem.

I believe I have a personal responsibility to make a positive impact on society.

There cannot be any impediment to science that will ultimately be good to the general public.
