  • 00:00Hi Marian, so I'd love to
  • 00:02hear your perspective of the
  • 00:04benefits of this TREC workshop.
  • 00:06Mostly for population scientist
  • 00:08studying energy bounce and cancer.
  • 00:10This is a phenomenal workshop
  • 00:12for all the population scientists
  • 00:14because they get contact with clinicians
  • 00:17and also with basic scientists,
  • 00:19an I think that this can
  • 00:22help inform their research,
  • 00:23produce new collaborations for them and
  • 00:26really help them along in their careers.
  • 00:29Often the population scientists stay
  • 00:31in their own corner of the building,
  • 00:34or they may even be in a separate building,
  • 00:37so having contact with clinicians
  • 00:39and basic science.
  • 00:41Artists helps to broaden their outlook
  • 00:43on conducting their research, and thanks
  • 00:45for your participation in the course.
  • 00:47You're welcome.
  • 00:48Thanks, Doctor Gently Gabel for
  • 00:50participating in the TREC workshop.
  • 00:52So as a clinician scientists,
  • 00:53what do you think the benefits of this
  • 00:57course are for other clinicians? So I
  • 01:00think that for clinicians that are
  • 01:02interested in this field many times they
  • 01:04may feel like they're the only person at
  • 01:07their institution with these interests,
  • 01:09and I think it's so helpful for
  • 01:11clinicians to be able to connect with
  • 01:13the basic scientists with the nutrition
  • 01:15and physical activity and behavior
  • 01:17change experts to really understand
  • 01:19how to build a multidisciplinary team
  • 01:21and to understand also how a clinical
  • 01:23perspective can really inform this work.
  • 01:25I think that building these types
  • 01:27of connections is so important,
  • 01:29because, really.
  • 01:30This work needs to be transdisciplinary to
  • 01:33be successful. Thank you.
  • 01:35So Doctor Linden Ebling from NCI.
  • 01:37You had the vision back in 2004 to
  • 01:40bring together a transdisciplinary
  • 01:41group of scientists focused
  • 01:43on energy bouncing cancer.
  • 01:46So your vision then versus your vision.
  • 01:48Now as it stayed the same
  • 01:51as it changed to me.
  • 01:53Your thoughts? Well I
  • 01:55would say the application of what
  • 01:57tricks started within words grown has
  • 02:00exceeded all original expectations.
  • 02:02In that it's continued to strengthen
  • 02:04and grow a research community,
  • 02:07an consortium for individuals to think
  • 02:10beyond their original disciplinary box.
  • 02:12It's also enabled the cyantific
  • 02:14directions to become much more integrated,
  • 02:18and translation ulto areas of
  • 02:20science that were not originally
  • 02:22grasped into the concept as before,
  • 02:25and it's helped maintain a very
  • 02:28competitive and dynamic edge to the
  • 02:31focus of the research and science.
  • 02:34Great thank you. So,
  • 02:36Doctor Henry Thompson from Colorado
  • 02:38State University you've been a part
  • 02:40of this trek workshop for the last
  • 02:43two years as a basic scientist doing
  • 02:46energy balance in Cancer Research.
  • 02:48So what do you think are the benefits of
  • 02:51this workshop to other basic preclinical
  • 02:54scientists? Wow is what I was saying.
  • 02:56It is been a great opportunity to
  • 02:59build community, build a vocabulary
  • 03:02that we can all understand and.
  • 03:05Test ideas out.
  • 03:06I always look for the opportunities for
  • 03:09epiphanies and this has been perfect
  • 03:11environment through just random conversation.
  • 03:14Suddenly you have an insight and
  • 03:17then you share that with a lot of
  • 03:20young people who are enthusiastic.
  • 03:22Anet embellishes the insight and gives
  • 03:24you critical feedback that you wouldn't
  • 03:27necessarily get from experience people,
  • 03:29so this is this is it just
  • 03:32generates excitement and recharges
  • 03:34the battery not just for the.
  • 03:37Young felt younger fellows
  • 03:38for experienced people,
  • 03:40so it is truly what science should be about.
  • 03:43And I say that I don't know of any
  • 03:47other event forum in which I've
  • 03:50seen this happen consistently.
  • 03:52It's a great experience do it.
  • 03:54Thank you.
