We wanted to highlight how one of our most innovative, philanthropy-supported, faculty members created a very successful mathematical modeling technique to fight back against cancer and other diseases. This faculty member is skilled at explaining his work to individuals who do not have doctorate degrees, and our writer ensured this piece, called "Test Flight," was written in a way that our educated lay audience—donors to medical and health-related research and care at the University of Minnesota—could easily absorb it. The skillset of this faculty member and writer combined to create a piece that informs and delights.
