Sex and smoking bias in the selection of somatic mutations in human bladder - Nature

Sex bias and association with smoking history identified in the landscape of driver mutations and clonal expansions in normal human bladder tissue may explain the higher bladder cancer risk in men and smokers.

Enjoyed this interview!
One of several takeaways: Constructive scientific criticism is a form of respect i.e. indicates your science matters!

Geneticist Mary-Claire King has had a remarkable career. She changed how we understand hereditary cancer, helped reunite families after Argentina’s dictatorship, and upended conventional wisdom about our evolutionary origins.
