History of Drugs in U.S.A. Timeline: http://www.timetoast.com/timelines/drug-history-in-usa

-The website to make a timeline was easy to navigate and use. All that is needed is a free account that is easy to sign up for. To use it on the ipad Puffin should be used because it requires flash player. I see how this could be useful in the class next year.

Time Article, "How to Cure Cancer"

This article focused on a new approach to cancer research. People have moved away from the idea that there will be one innovative doctor who will cure cancer, and towards the idea that teamwork is necessary. The charity, Stand Up to Cancer, was founded by people in the entertainment industry. They were upset with the slow progress being made with cancer research. Since it was founded they have raised a lot of money, and instead of giving it to a single doctor they have been giving it to teams. "Dream Teams" have been created that are collaborating across universities and research centers to compare their results. Different teams have found different things that link certain cancers together. When teams realize that two cancers are similar they pour research into trying to find a common cure for both. This new method of research has led to many advances. With the team method, different people are able to research different things and compare results. There have been many new advances in treatment that have been discovered with this method that have led to longer lives after diagnosis, and many preventive measures.
