The process of science, even at the level of benchwork in the lab, is full of ups and downs. Highs and lows. Things that work. Things that don't work.
But you have to accept that sometimes the things that don't work teach you a lot as well. Success is hard won, and it is not quick.
Adding in the variable of having to test your ideas in actual humans--that's a huge challenge and carries real risk. Yest there are some incredibly brave humans who are willing to take those risks to provide us with knowledge for the future.
This film offers a look at what that process is like from the clinical trial patient's perspectives. And it shows that their efforts are just as important at those of the researchers--maybe even more.
Huge respect to those who take the chances to help us learn things and move forward. It really is a brave choice. Thank you.
