ROCK STARS OF SCIENCE
From cause to cure in our time.
Being a rock star is about the same amps, thunder and art it's always been, but these days a rock star can be anyone whose genius moves the crowd-whether they're onstage or in the lab. The musicians you'll know-they're icons. As for the other guys, they're the doctors whose work has brought us closer to cures for cancer, HIV/AIDS and Alzheimer's disease. These fellows won't set your soul on fire like Sheryl Crow, but they're lighting up the future with something just as powerful. Hope.
Our most brilliant scientific minds are dedicated to finding cures for the diseases that threaten our future, and America's most celebrated Rock Stars stand behind them.
