"My PI made us read this for a group meeting. It's about a PI and student who win the Nobel Prize, but then their work isn't reproducible. Twists and turns are revealed throughout but ultimately, the validity of their work is never "proven". My PI intended to give an ethics talk based on it but eh, it sucked."
Cantor, a university professor/researcher comes up with a hypothesis regarding the start of cancer - he then races to design an experiement that will prove the hypothesis correct. He turns to his most trusted post doc, Stafford, to run the experiment.
From the conversation: Women roles were flat. Ardley show the sacrifices a woman makes... yet Cantor makes some of the same sacrifices."
