Heading for the 2018 Project LEAD Course in California
Just heard that I've been granted a scholarship to attend the Project LEAD Institute course in La Jolla, California in July. With around 50 attendees, and likely as the only guy, this is quite a big deal for me. I'd have to say that my BCNA training helped me make the cut, for sure. THE COURSE The Project LEAD® Institute is a six-day intensive science course, designed for the lay public to train breast cancer advocates. The course covers the basics of cancer biology, genetics, epidemiology, research design and advocacy, and provides a foundation of scientific knowledge upon which participants can strengthen and empower themselves as activists. Taught by renowned research faculty, this is a unique opportunity for those interested in learning more about working as an NBCC research advocate as well as providing the tools for activists.
