      Yes. I like the idea of using our brain to help people. When I was a kid my older brother had cancer and for several years my family pretty much lived in the hospital. It was really scary for my bro, me, and my entire family. Thankfully my brother kicked cancer’s you know what and is doing great now. But I can’t think of a better thing to do on the planet that work on cancer and hopefully maybe someday help contribute to our understanding of the disease and how we can use that to make better medicines. Thanks for the question!
