Dear Editor: In the field of cancer research, the seed and soil theory states that for cancer to successfully spread, both the cancer cells (the seeds) and the environment in other organs (the soil) need to be just right. As a graduate student in bioengineering at UPenn, I research how to hijack the way cancer cells communicate so that we can weaken these seeds and make the soil less friendly to them. This is a painstaking process, but I find it deeply rewarding because it enables the creation of life-saving medical treatments. However, in the face of funding cuts from federal institutions like the NSF and NIH, I have been...
