Why do I get so many advertisements, including on this site, making me aware of the PACIFIC data and role for this drug in unresectable lung cancer? Isn’t this 100% standard of care by now?

On July 27, reddit, WIRED, and Nokia brought us the first-ever [AMA with Stephen Hawking](https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/3eret9/science_ama_series_i_am_stephen_hawking/) with this note: At the time, we, the mods of /r/science, noted this: "This AMA will be run differently due to t
Two weeks ago I landed in the emergency room. I thought my appendix may be bursting, I was in easily the worst pain of my life.

It was the advertisement’s outright simplicity that caught my attention. “Revolutionize science! Earn $5000! Call us now!” I wish I could say I didn’t know why I called them. I wish I could say it was some act of God or deception that drove me into their waiting arms. But that would be a lie. The tr
