#CancerMoonshot

President Biden just announced $150M in research spending for his cancer moonshot.

To put that in perspective, a pro-Trump super PAC will spend $100M in the next few weeks trying to disparage Kamala.

And AIPAC spent $100M trying to unseat progressives critical of Israel's war on Gaza.

We need better priorities.

And better campaign funding rules.

I'm sure many will be pleased by the idea of #Biden's #CancerMoonshot, but we have much more pressing issues to deal with immediately in our society, like the #ClimateCollapse that is upon us already, ensuring the protection of #WomensRights and #TransRights, and stopping #Genocide and the growth of #Fascism.

#Democrats have dragged their feet on all the most important and most #progressive issues until they are #LameDucks. #Harris will be no different. #TooLittleTooLate

As a recently diagnosed patient with a Medicare Advantage plan, I fully agree with this. Even if we (USA) never get to Bernie-style zero point of service cost (which no country has), cancer care should be totally free to the patient.

I'm "lucky" that mine is "only" the so-called "low risk" active surveillance type of prostate cancer. But even within that, which I may insist on active treatment, each MRI or other scan costs me $250 USD. As do any outpatient procedures. Specialty visits are "only" $25. But this all adds up, and will get higher when I go to an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center next month for confirmatory diagnostics and possible treatments. Many patients have much higher #MedicalCosts, especially if they are diagnosed with #Cancer at a younger, pre-Medicare age.

President Biden's #CancerMoonshot program should be expanded, beyond research, to include covering all cancer treatment costs.

2/ We need to teach the American public why cleaning the air is SO important for their health not just for #COVID19 but other pathogens, pollution, and wildfire/tobacco smoke that HARM us when we breathe them into our lungs. 🫁

Clean air reduces disease 👀#CancerMoonshot! 🚀🌙

Our Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology Division’s Justin Reese recently did a Q&A with The Superposition to discuss all things computational biology, what scientists can learn from patient records, and how machine learning can help researchers figure out if medications already on the market can treat additional conditions.

Researchers in the Biological Systems and Engineering (BSE) Division are collaborating with colleagues at the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator (BELLA) Center to make a more effective type of radiation more readily available to patients. These new technologies could lead to an increase in treatment centers because the start-up costs and amount of building space necessary would be reduced.

Have you heard of #ThirdhandSmoke? Toxic chemicals can linger in indoor environments where cigarettes have been smoked, potentially exposing others to health risks in these contaminated spaces.

Researchers from our Biological Systems and Engineering (BSE) division are part of a consortium of researchers from BerkeleyLab, UC San Francisco, UC Riverside, and San Diego State University.
