Lisa Coussens, Ph.D., discusses her goals and areas of focus for her upcoming term as president of the American Association for Cancer Research: “We need to get this message across to young scientists, those in graduate and medical school, and postdoctoral fellows about the importance of diversifying their education — for instance, to think beyond the core cancer biology curriculum and seek out data science and other training. They have to learn to speak more than just their own field's language to translate and communicate their science if they want it to be impactful across multiple disciplines and have the potential for translation to the clinic.”
