Summary

Zibby interviews Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Amy Dockser Marcus about We the Scientists: How a Daring Team of Parents and Doctors Forged a New Path for Medicine, a gripping and deeply compassionate account of a fatal genetic disease and the collaboration between families and researchers to one day vanquish it. Amy talks about her mother, who died of a rare form of cancer and inspired this incredible project. She also describes the 10-year period she spent with the community of families whose children suffer from the rare and fatal Niemann-Pick Disease Type C and the unique way they contributed to the development of new treatments. Finally, she talks about her impressive career, from journalism assistant to foreign correspondent in the Middle East to ultimately falling in love with health and science beat reporting.
