...asked Dr. Branimir Sikic, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine who chaired the committee that designed ASCO's program. "It's correct that there were more Phase I studies in the clinical science symposia," he told me. "And we did that deliberately. It was a way to inform both practicing [cancer doctors] and clinical researchers about early data and the scientific background of new targets.

While the APO is under no obligation to emulate either of these models, it could at least make an effort to inform interested students of its efforts, rather than instructing members of the SAB not to speak to the press. Despite all the controversy, lack of transparency, and frustration, the PAF program still promises to be an improvement to the Class of 2010’s advising. When the selection process occurs again next spring, none...
