      It's hard to think of Melanoma in terms of "upsides" but one is that you realize people got your back.  I'm a librarian here at University of Houston and other librarians here send me any new research that pings for Melanoma (it really touches me that people are out there checking for research, and as a data person, I know how important research and Open Data is to our community).   Following up Joyce's article, a librarian just sent me this about research being done here at UH, a  different approach to TCells:

      I'll be following this research and this professor!

          Thank you for sharing!  The melanoma community and the cancer community is full of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known, even though it is a bittersweet discovery under the circumstances.
