The Burrill Report (November 29, 2011): Hey Now, You're a Rock Star (.MP3,14.46 Mb)
Blondie's Debbie Harry and Poison’s Brett Michaels are featured in a new GQ Magazine spread along with some of the world’s leading scientists who are trying to unlock the mysteries of the costliest diseases faced by mankind. The campaign from Geoffrey Beene Gives Back dubbed The Rock Stars of Science kicks off its second year with the spread. We spoke to Meryl Comer, organizer of the campaign, about the origins of the Rock Stars of Science, the public conversation it is seeking to spark, and the potential societal cost that comes from people knowing Britney Spears, but not Francis Collins.
