How can patients and their families become more integral in
the research process and drug discovery? How can citizen scientists
and patient-led research become more accepted in the scientific
community? And who qualifies as a citizen scientist? We will tackle
those questions and much more in this episode with Amy Dockser
Marcus, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of the
recently published book, “We The Scientists: How a daring team of
parents and doctors forged a new path for medicine.” Amy is a
veteran reporter at the Wall Street Journal and won her Pulitzer
Prize for Beat Reporting in 2005 for her series of stories about
cancer survivors and the social, economic, and health challenges
they faced living with the disease. She has covered science and
health at the Journal for years, and she also earned a Master of
Bioethics from Harvard Medical School. Learn more about Amy and her
