Semi-Weekly Discussion Thread - December 9, 2024
INTRODUCTION
/r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.
PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD
Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.
It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.
IMAGE FLAIRS
r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen here. If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!
The list of previous effort posts can be found here

Recent advances in CAR T cell therapy are super exciting.
Layman's summary: CAR T cell therapy is a cancer treatment where the patient's T cells are extracted and genetically modified with new receptors that allow them to bind to the (specific) cancer cells. T cells are then reintroduced to the patient and go to work.
So far CAR T cell therapy is pretty much only used in blood cancers, because the environment in solid tumors is inhospitable to T cells. However, new techniques are being developed that appear to have the potential to increase the cells' effectiveness and resilience.
Individualized cancer treatment at the cellular level.
