Louisa Smith, MS on breast cancer treatment and outhouse racing - a podcast by Lisa Bodnar

Louisa Smith, MS is an epidemiology PhD student at Harvard who was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer at age 28. After a year of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, she now has no evidence of disease! On this episode, Louisa talks about her treatment, quantifying and graphing her own data, joining a randomized trial, and thinking about her future and how she wants to spend her time now. Louisa tells me about a Modern Epidemiology textbook-yearbook, an outhouse race she won, and choosing her PhD program based on the outcome of a basketball game. Louisa is delightful, and her story is so uplifting!
