“We are resolute. We are committed to continuing to move the work forward,” said Louis M. Weiner, director of Georgetown University’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Taofeek Kunle Owonikoko, executive director of the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center, recalled recent conversations with two junior faculty members.
“I had to reassure them, ‘Yes, we’re not reneging on our commitment,’” Owonikoko said. “It’s a challenging phase that we’re all going through, but we’re going to get through this. So, we have to help give them that cushion, that support, that level of at least some degree of certainty for them to keep plugging at this.”
Weiner and Owonikoko appeared on the latest episode of The Cancer Letter Podcast, as part of a monthly series called The Directors, which focuses on the problems that keep directors of cancer centers up at night.
