Great Interview with Dr. Faustman
David Edelman's great video interview with Dr. Denise Faustman is now online. It's about 47 minutes long and well worth watching.I was in the room when this interview took place - David and Elizabeth were generous enough to share this opportunity with me.
The interview provides a wonderful insight into Dr. Faustman's research and her thinking about a type 1 diabetes cure. They've also provided a transcript. (PDF)
If you'd like to support her research, it's not too late to support my triathlon for a cure. Or just go directly to the Mass General site and donate there.

Bernard, thank you so much for joining us for that interview. Your questions and comments added a lot of depth to the conversation. I've listened to the interview a lot as I was editing it - and it continues to inspire every time.
Thanks for posting the great interview transcript! Very exciting.
I understand that Dr. Faustman is going carefully and slowly and deliberately. But, since this research has been replicated in at least seven other centers, what about the possibility that someone in a less regulated country might try to go faster with human BCG trials? Sort of like RK surgery in the old USSR was the precurser to LASIK.
It's so exciting, and the possibility for downside seems so low since BCG is already a known quantity, that it seems like someone would go ahead and try it on T1 humans somewhere.
