STATUS List Spotlight: A Conversation with Otis Brawley

Editor’s note: A livestream of the conversation is embedded below.

This February, STAT published our first STATUS List. This annual project aims to be the most definitive accounting of impactful individuals in health, medicine, and science. Some are well-known as changemakers; others are largely unheralded heroes. But all have compelling stories to tell. Now, in our STATUS List Spotlight series, you’ll hear from some of these individuals. You’ll get the chance to better understand their stories and their journeys to change health and medicine.

Featured Speakers:

• Otis Brawley, professor of oncology and epidemiology, John Hopkins University
