• In medicine (and everywhere), there is resistance to new ideas – so many people have spent so much time holding a certain belief, that the cost is too high to change
• The distrust in science and medicine is because there is no humility in walking back incorrect information
• We need people who are willing to speak up instead of falling in line; science is the study of challenging deeply held assumptions
• We need new frontiers of medicine, people are hungry for answers
• The future of medicine is hopeful as the new generation of medical students and doctors is not on board with the traditional path of doing whatever you need to secure NIH funding and falling in line

• It’s time we consider NIH term limits
• We spend more money on pharmaceuticals than we do on understanding the origins of disease
