My Take
Rosenberg is the kind of figure I find genuinely heroic, not in a flashy way but in a stubborn, decades-deep way. A Harvard-trained surgeon who bet his career on the then-radical idea that the body's own immune system could be turned against cancer, he kept grinding long before immunotherapy became fashionable. The wall of honors, from the Coley Award to the Massry and Keio prizes, only confirms what I admire most: relentless patience in service of saving lives. I respect researchers who chase a hard truth for forty years more than almost anyone, and he sits squarely in that company.
