0:00.0	Welcome. I'm Dr. Vinay Prasad. I'm a hematologist, oncologist, and I'm associate professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. In my professional life, I see patients, I teach trainees, and I do research in health care policy. This is plenary session.
0:22.9	Plenary session is a podcast at the intersection of medicine, oncology, and health policy,
0:27.5	and you're listening to Season 3. On this week's episode. This week on Plenary Session, we've got
0:34.4	Nathan Pearson. Nathan Pearson is a genomicist and he has a few thoughts about which genomic alterations in the host

0:45.1	You won't want to miss this discussion.
0:48.7	You know, normally every week you hear me say, if you're a fan of this show, go support

1:39.0	It's a pleasure, as they say, like, you know, a long-time listener and first-time Zoom chatter.
1:45.0	Well, we look forward to chatting. So, you know, you message me and we were going to talk a little

1:56.5	you know, what your interest is, what you heard, and what you want to push back on.
2:02.2	Well, I think it's, so basically one of your prior guests was talking about, you know,
