April 20 2025-Cancer Research in Jeopardy and the Rising Tide of Book Bans
Update: 2025-04-20
Description
Cancer Research in Jeopardy and the Rising Tide of Book Bans
Canadian cancer researchers received over 40 million in US funding last year for their life-saving work. Now, amid Donald Trump’s tariff war, seven-in-ten Canadian cancer researchers are concerned about the impact on both this year’s funding, and the future of collaborative projects with US colleagues. So this year’s April daffodil month to raise funds and support for Canadians living with the disease carries more urgency for the one-in-two Canadians will face a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. We reached Dr. Stuart Edmonds, Head of Research with the Canadian Cancer Society.
And
Author Ira Wells, an associate professor at the University of Toronto, makes the strong argument against book banning and censorship in his latest called ON BOOK BANNING. Censorship dates back through the ages, but Wells claims there are now more efforts to ban books from libraries than ever before.
