This project hits home for me as I prepare to end my daily journalism career after more than 40 years - most of it in newsrooms.
Please read our incredible media writer @dbauder's final piece in his illustrious career at the @AP:

A pancreatic diagnosis was a death sentence, with a few months to get your affairs in order.
Pancreatic cancer has one of the most suppressive tumor microenvironments in oncology.
But two pancreatic cancer results dropped today. Both matter.
1. BioNTech mRNA neoantigen vaccine: nearly all responders still alive at 6 years. 98% of induced T cells were de novo — the immune system learned to see a cancer it had always been blind to.
2. Daraxonrasib: 47% ORR, 92% disease control as first-line monotherapy. KRAS G12D, undruggable for 40 years, finally has a drug.
Different mechanisms. Same disease. Both working.
<13% of patients survive 5 years. That number is about to change.
great day for science! 🔥

This piece by Peggy Noonan on the demise of the Washington Post is worth your time. I gifted it so you can read it.
“Finally, losing the one major newspaper left in the great nation’s capital—and during the Trump administration no less, during a time of the easy abuse of standards and traditions, of inching up to and then inching over the law, in a pattern that promises not to get better but worse—is more than a Jeffersonian nightmare, it is a kind of sin. The kind history doesn’t easily forgive.”

This description is all to familiar for families like mine who have watched a love-one deteriorate quickly in overcrowded hospitals. My father struggled with delirium and never recovered after his experience, dying with stage 4 bedsores.
How Crowded Emergency Departments Impact Patients and Staff
Overfull hospitals are worsening delirium, causing bedsores and leading to patient care in hospital bays and bathrooms.
