Introducing Cancer Trials Canada - a new website to make it easier than ever to find cancer clinical trials happening across Canada.

Clinical trials test new ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer. They help advance research that can lead to better care and save lives.

Excited to join the Challenge Me debate on Nov 6!

Motion: Method developers should be required to publish all limitations & failures.

I’ll argue against mandatory transparency, not because I oppose open science, but to stress-test the idea and push our thinking.
