Against the Current<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During her speech, she <strong>highlighted the importance of perseverance and of continuing to row against the current<\/strong> to ensure that science ultimately reaches the clinic in the form of a safe and effective medicine.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, she emphasized <strong>the importance of collaboration<\/strong> among patients, foundations, academia, and biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also focused on the importance of:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Supporting<\/strong> risky ideas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Funding<\/strong> young talent.<\/li>\n<li>And understanding that, for science to advance and
