Harold Varmus is gonna be the next head of the National Cancer Institute (probably, still a non-confirmed nerd rumor)!

cool!
I guess it makes sense - where does he go after heading MSKCC? NCI makes sense to me =)
He was an English major! I did not expect that. Score one for my team.
Oh, rock on! I love that little dude!
I don't buy it. Why would someone who was the director of NIH ever wanna be the head of an IC? It'd be like a former POTUS becoming a state governor.
Not quite because the NCI director is a presidential appointee, so at least in an organizational chart sense is equal to the NIH director, not under him. The practical reality is more complicated, but it is still true that the NCI director is considerably more indendendent than other IC directors.
