Longread #392 -- Cancer in Africa -- 10/18/13

WE'RE BACK!

The shutdown was fully of idiocy and partisanship and all sorts of other uselessness, but thankfully, we're back. Today's longread looks at the challenges of cancer in Africa and does so specifically through the lens of initiatives in Uganda. I highlight this article in large part because it shows some of the amazing efforts of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The Hutch is my employer and had our back throughout the furlough mess. Not only is the Hutch pushing forward in remarkable ways on reducing the burdens of cancer, they are also an organization that takes care of its employees.
