My prayers are with @DavePriceTV and his family as they mourn the loss of Steve Price, beloved brother, son, uncle and friend. He battled #PancreaticCancer with courage for 4.5 years. His legacy will live on through his family and through all of those he has inspired.

Remarks by @POTUS shares his administration’s work to create a @DARPA for health to drive medical breakthroughs. “This administration is going to be guided by science — to save lives and to make lives better.” #HARPA #ThePatientsAreWaiting

I applaud president-elect @JoeBiden for naming decorated geneticist @eric_lander to the post of presidential science adviser & director of OSTP, and for elevating the appointment to a cabinet-level position.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a tireless advocate for equality. Her contributions to our society are innumerable, and she fought with courage and grace to the end. Rest In Peace #RuthBaderGinsburg

The last few years have been very rough for him but he did not complain and tried to work through every medical setback small or large.

I worked for Jack Welch for 20 years. He was demanding, exciting, a brilliant strategist, and a man of the highest level of energy. He was clearly one of the best CEOs of all time.

Today we lost an American hero. @SenJohnMcCain never failed to stand up for what he believed to be right. He will be greatly missed.

So very sad to hear this morning’s update from @SenJohnMcCain’s family. Senator McCain has once again shown incredible courage in his fight against #Glioblastoma - a disease where we have seen so little progress. The McCain family is in my prayers during this challenging hour.

Aretha Franklin was a legend who shared her gift with all of us for decades. Her death from #pancreaticcancer should be an urgent wake up call to the federal government that the current research model for this disease is not working... My full statement here:
