For at least a decade, nearly every tech company has promoted their product as facilitating the “democratization” of something – perhaps “data driven medicine,” or “genetic information” or “access to clinical trials” or “digital health” (all real examples). Like “mission-driven,” “results-oriented,” and “disruptive,” the term “democratization” has become so overused by the tech community that it’s now more of an obligatory buzzword than a meaningful, resonant concept.

Kathmandu, NepalWe did it together. The Timmerman Traverse for Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation completed a splendid expedition to Everest Base Camp on Apr. 23, 2025. This trip succeeded on every count. All 17 members of the team made it to the mountaineering camp at 17,600 feet / 5,364 meters. We exceeded our $700,000 fundraising goal for high-risk / high-reward cancer research with $734,508 as of May 2. More gifts are in the pipeline, so our final tally should eclipse $800,000.

(Guest) Editor Note: Martin Gaynor, the Lester A. Hamburg University Professor of Economics and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University, was recently honored with the Victor R. Fuchs Award for Lifetime Contributions to the Field of Health Economics by the American Society of Health Economists. His response (shared with his permission) was both striking and magnificent, emphasizing the contingency of his career path, and acknowledging the many different ways things might have turned out.
