Dear Voornaam

February marks one year since we shared the very first episode of our Cancer Research Matters podcast and with it comes the end of our 20th anniversary year. What a better way to wrap up this series than to shine a light on our incredible guests and the rousing themes theyve touched on across our episodes.

Featuring clips with Steve Jackson, Ruth Plummer, Simon Boulton, Leszek Borysiewicz, Karen Vousden, Richard Gilbertson and Charles Swanton, in our final episode we revisit how these researchers have embraced their luck in coffee shops and lifts, whats changed and what hasnt over the past two decades of science, how translation has become a laudable achievement and what lies ahead in their fields of research.

Thank you for following along and watch this space for our next series, which is already in the pipeline.
