What's it like to leverage the collaboration within that network?
6:16
Yeah, I feel like we have a trailer for movies coming out.
6:23
We have a window on what's coming down the pipeline because of the nine different centers, many of whom want to expand their trials to be more than one center.
6:34
So the network gets a snapshot preview of what we might think about participating in.
6:41
So that's been a lot of fun and it's also been great for the patients in our catchment area.
6:48
And the other thing that we're doing more and more across the network is thinking about how do we do a better job of expanding access to participation in the trials beyond the city of San Francisco, the nine-county Bay Area.
7:06
What can we do to expand that to areas that are underserved? And so CIRM just finished this round of funding of new community engagement centers, and we partnered and we've been working closely with a community cancer center in Clovis, California, which is near Fresno.

It's no longer 10 years from now.
17:55
And Mark, what about you? When did you first happen upon Sherlock Holmes?
18:01
Well, I must say my story is quite a bit different than Shelley's.
18:06
And I'm also going to reveal when you hear this that you'll realize Shelley is much younger than I am, which is just fine.
18:15
But I first... became aware of Sherlock Holmes when I was about 10 years old, and that's in 1963.
18:27
And I was in my grandfather's little library in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and he had a copy of The Adventures in his library.
18:38
And I don't know why, but for some reason I pulled it out and I sat down and I started reading it.
18:47
I was hooked from that point on.

So, so Shelly, Mark, what about newcomers? You know, the, the perennial question about Sherlockian groups is how do you get younger people involved? How, how successful has, have the clients been?
