Hyperfixed & Radiotopia

Maybe it’s just a quiet annoyance you’ve grudgingly learned to put up with, or a life defining issue that makes it hard to move forward. Whatever it is, Alex Goldman — reporter, radio producer, and overconfident idiot — will get to the bottom of it (if there’s a bottom to be found. Results may vary). Follow Alex as he figures out not only the vast hidden mechanisms that create these problems, but works with you, the listener, to find a solution. Or at least enough of an explanation that you’re ok with the annoyance. He’s not perfect.

    Introducing Bringing Cancer Into Focus: Biomarkers & Precision Medicine from Science Will Win. Follow the show: Science Will Win What if the key to treating cancer was hiding in plain sight – written into its DNA? In this episode of Science Will Win, host Dr. Raven Baxter explores one of the most exciting breakthroughs in cancer care today: the discovery of biomarkers. These tiny molecular signals are helping doctors understand what’s really driving an individual person’s cancer – and opening the door to treatments that can dramatically change patient outcomes. You’ll hear powerful stories from people whose cancers were traced back to a specific biomarker, alongside experts who break down what biomarker testing is, how it works, and why it’s transforming the way we think about cancer treatment.    Biomarkers are showing us that when we understand cancer at its molecular level, a disease that once felt like an unsolvable mystery starts to come into focus.
