Thank you, Stan.

You know, I'm pretty excited about introducing Dr. Logan.

He and I have been working together for, I don't know, three, four, five years.

I mean, I met him through a project which was around prostate cancer and barbecue, which is very, very important for Black men.

the conversation of prostate cancer, but also barbecue.

And so we did a study on that.

And so it's been exciting for me to work with him and to get to know him.

And so he's a pediatric cancer epidemiologist who specializes in the causes of childhood cancer.

His work includes both traditional and genetic epidemiological approaches.

He's been a PI or co-PI on nine National Cancer Institute-funded studies of childhood cancer.

He works in collaboration with colleagues and trainees locally, nationally, and internationally at the University of Minnesota.

So he's also the immediate past chair of the Children's Oncological Group.

So he's a very, very busy person, but also a very, very important person.

Currently, he's chair of CLIC, which talks about epidemiological studies of pediatric cancers from across the world to better ascertain their causes.

And the ultimate goal of Dr. Specter's research is to enable the prediction, early detection, and eventual prevention of childhood cancer.

And one of the reasons why I'm excited about him is that

uh, we had a conversation, uh, uh, not necessarily, uh, associated with this podcast where we started talking about colon cancer, uh, among that is getting, uh, hitting younger and younger people.

I thought like we've had Dr. Logan on here to talk a little bit about that.

So that's kind of an introduction to him.

I think he has a very sparkling personality, which will come forth.
