This is so good - unlike seemingly everything else I read in "The New Yorker" which is usually so much verbose low-signal drivel.
I want to learn about the new cancer breakthrough, not read 5 paragraphs about what the scientist's office looked like in self-satisfied "prose" only to set the stage for a meandering intro and finally finishing with a few sentences of actual information - often misrepresented by the author's lack of understanding for the science involved.
