Question: If you found a cure for cancer, how would you spreed the word?

Hey Rachel, that’s an interesting question. As a scientist you would write a research paper. This would show all your work, what you found, why this is a great drug or experiment. However if you discovered a “cure” for cancer, I think I would run around the university telling everyone. It would be an amazing jump forward in science and you would be very famous. However the reality is, is that cancer is a very complicated disease with many many different kinds, like heart disease. It would be very difficult to ever find a one size fits all cure. But facebook/twitter would be a great way to tell everyone that you had a cure 🙂
