It’s become a bit of a tradition for the Foundation to send a Thanksgiving note, and this year we’re excited to support projects that have evolved as part of ongoing work by researchers and the Foundation.
As you know, we seek new ideas and collaborative approaches and in 2021 that has translated into: continued work with NIH supporting next generation research, funding an initial site for breast cancer treatment clinical trial from the lab of Andrea Bild, Ph.D., at City of Hope, helping personalize radiation therapy for breast cancer with Heiko Enderling, Ph.D., at Moffitt Cancer Center, as well as extending funding to further the PhysiCell project developed by Paul Macklin, Ph.D.
The Foundation again hosted its annual October symposium, highlighting findings from collaborative research and hear a keynote address from the Jayne Koskinas Annual Keynote Speaker, Lisa M. Coussens, Ph.D. And I would be remiss if I didn’t thank Team TGM for its ongoing support.
Enjoy Thanksgiving with friends and loved ones and thank you again for being part of JKTG’s work. Happy Thanksgiving!

Ted’s Take: There are no stakeholders, it’s just US
The word “stakeholder” really bothers me particularly in the healthcare space. I’m struck by a quote by Ken Burns.
“The thing that I’ve learned is that there is no ‘them.’ This is what everybody does: make a distinction about ‘them.’ It’s just ‘us’.”
Ted’s Take: The Last Tenth
In racing, we measure this in lap times often down to the second or tenths of a second. A recent racing article provoked me to think about the pursuit of “the last tenth” of a second in improvement which is typically the toughest and most difficult to attain.
Ted‘s Take: Power in Perspective – or Academia versus the Real World
There’s an old adage – them that can do – do. Them that can’t do – teach. Many institutions and academia generally rely on credentialed academicians equating credentials with mastery of a subject area.
