With science under attack, researcher Anthony Zador joins me to make the case for its value, especially of curiosity-driven basic science.

We explore the charms of curiosity as a research motivator, what distinguishes curiosity-driven research from all the rest, federal investment in science -- and recent disruptions thereto and the gutting of American research, the "curse of knowledge", showcasing practical applications, debate in the lab, and what's to love about Gila monster venom and Yellowstone's thermal pools.

BUFFALO, NY — June 10, 2025 — The Ride for Roswell, one of the USA’s largest cycling events supporting cancer research, returns to Buffalo on Saturday, June 28, 2025. Hosted annually by Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, this community-wide event brings together riders, volunteers, and supporters to raise funds for cancer research, celebrate survivors, and honor those lost to the disease. 

Among the returning participants is the Open Access Team, led by team captain Sergei Kurenov. This year, the team is once again proudly sponsored by Impact Journals, the publisher of open access journals Aging, Oncotarget, Genes & Cancer, and Oncoscience.

“For the last 10 years, I have continuously participated in the Ride for Roswell in honor of those who have bravely fought cancer,” said Kurenov. “This journey is deeply personal for me. My father battled cancer, and some of my closest friends have fought through prostate and lung cancer with incredible strength.”

This year, the Open Access Team rides in honor of Dr. Mikhail (Misha) Blagosklonny, a visionary scientist who dedicated his career to advancing cancer and aging research. As the founding Editor-in-Chief of Aging, Oncotarget and Oncoscience, Dr. Blagosklonny was a pioneer of open-access publishing. His groundbreaking work on mTOR signaling and rapamycin transformed our understanding of cancer biology and healthy lifespan extension.

The 2025 Ride for Roswell features nine route options, ranging from 4 to 100 miles, all beginning at the University at Buffalo North Campus. Riders from across the USA and beyond are invited to participate and make a meaningful impact in the fight against cancer.

This ride is more than just a journey on two wheels—it’s a commitment to building a future where no one has to fear a cancer diagnosis. There is still time to support the Open Access Team in the 2025 Ride for Roswell. Whether by donating, joining the team, or sharing their story, every action brings us closer to better treatments, deeper understanding, and, ultimately, a cure.

Oncotarget Sponsors Open Access Team in 2025 Ride for Roswell

In this week’s episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with McKenna Peplinski, a senior research associate at Resources for the Future, about delays in building up the infrastructure that delivers electricity to the United States. Many electric power projects, such as bids for new generators and transmission lines, are waiting in long queues to connect to the grid. In a recent study she coauthored, Peplinski examines the consequences of these delays in building out power infrastructure by comparing two scenarios that the research team modeled: one in which projects move forward on schedule, and another in which projects get stalled. She shares the research findings, which reveal that these delays have negative consequences for energy costs, emissions from power plants, public health, and the feasibility of adding renewable energy sources to the grid.

From ME to WE: Kyle McDowell’s Blueprint for Transformational Leadership

BUFFALO, NY - June 13, 2025 – A new #review was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on June 4, 2025, titled “Applying the unattainable triangle in cardio-oncology care: Balancing cost, quality, and time.”

In this review, first author John Hoverson, corresponding author Stella Pak, and colleagues from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio explore how the “unattainable triangle”—a business concept describing the trade-offs between cost, quality, and time—can help improve healthcare delivery in cardio-oncology. As cancer treatments become more complex and often affect the heart, this model highlights the challenge of providing care that is fast, effective, and affordable.

Cardio-oncology is an emerging field focused on preventing and managing heart problems caused by cancer therapies. The review explains that high-quality cancer care often requires advanced diagnostics and close collaboration between oncologists and cardiologists, which can drive up costs and time demands. Understanding how to balance these pressures is essential for delivering better outcomes for patients.

Many cancer survivors face long-term cardiovascular complications due to their treatment. Early monitoring and intervention can reduce these risks. However, these improvements often come with financial burdens, especially when key tests are not covered by insurance. Meanwhile, both patients and clinicians must manage the burden of tight appointment schedules, long clinic visits, and increasing demands on their time.

To improve care quality, the authors emphasize the need for interdisciplinary teamwork and ongoing education. Surveys show that many clinicians are still unfamiliar with cardio-oncology guidelines, which can compromise care. The review also highlights the potential for artificial intelligence and digital tools to streamline care delivery, reduce wait times, and support both patients and providers.

Importantly, the authors point out that improving one area—such as quality—can come at the expense of others, like cost or time. They encourage healthcare systems to take a balanced approach, setting clear goals and using integrated care models that consider all three elements of the triangle together.

“While a perfect model for managing the unattainable triangle may be simply that, ‘unattainable’, investments in research, patient-centered care, data-driven decision-making, and financial alignment with payers will be crucial to the long-term success of both patient outcomes and the organization’s profitability.”

While achieving perfect balance may be difficult, the review suggests that using the unattainable triangle as a guiding framework can help hospitals and clinicians make smarter, more sustainable decisions. As cardio-oncology continues to expand in response to the growing number of cancer survivors with cardiovascular needs, this approach could help improve patient outcomes and strengthen healthcare systems.
