>> Ted: NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON, DETAILS ON A MAJOR SCIENTIFIC BREAK-THROUGH THAT COULD RESULT IN AN INFINITE SUPPLY OF CLEAN ENERGY.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE HISTORY AND FUTURE OF WATER IN ARIZONA.

AND WE'LL HEAR ABOUT A TEST FOR COLORECTAL CANCER THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE A COLONOSCOPY.

GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY.

SCIENTISTS HAVE CREATED NUCLEAR FUSION.

IN OTHER WORDS, THEY PRODUCED WHAT POWERS THE SUN IN A LAB.

IT'S A HUGE MILESTONE TO FIND ABUNDANT ENERGY THAT DOESN'T DEPEND ON FOSSIL FUELS.

>> LAST WEEK, AT THE LAWRENCE LIVERMOORE LABORATORY IN CALIFORNIA, SCIENTISTS AT THE NATIONAL IGNITION FACILITY HAD IGNITION AND THAT HAS FUSION REACTIONS THAN THE ENERGY USED TO START THE PROCESS.

IT'S THE FIRST TIME IT HAS EVER BEEN DONE IN A LABORATORY.

ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

SIMPLY PUT, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE SCIENTIFIC FEATS OF THE 21st CENTURY.

>> Ted: WE'LL HAVE MUCH MORE ON TODAY'S ANNOUNCEMENT IN A WORLD.

>>> THREE U.S.

LAWMAKERS BAN TIKTOK FROM OPERATING IN THE U.S. REPUBLICAN SENATOR MARCO RUBIO WITH RUN REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRAT PROHIBIT FOREIGN-BASED SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES WITH AT LEAST ONE MILLION FOLLOWERS FROM OPERATING IN THE U.S.

LAWMAKERS ARE CONCERNED THAT TIKTOK'S PARENT COMPANY IS AFFILIATED WITH CHINA WHICH COULD RESULT IN DATA WITH AMERICANS FALLING INTO THE HANDS OF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT.

>>> ARIZONA DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR ASKED IF HE WOULD SUPPORT NOW INDEPENDENT GOVERNOR KYRSTEN SINEMA SHOULD SHE RUN IN 2024 AGAINST A DEMOCRAT.

HIS RESPONSE?

>> WILL YOU SUPPORT HER IF SHE RUNS?

>> I DON'T THINK WHAT I'VE SEEN -- WELL, WE JUST GOT DONE WITH AN ELECTION, YOU KNOW, HERE IN 2022 AND 2024 IS FAR ENOUGH AND I'M NOT -- I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYBODY MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

>> BUT THERE ARE DEMOCRATS THAT MAY RUN AND WOULD YOU BE INCLINED TO BACK ONE OF THEM?

>> AS WE GET CLOSER, WE'LL TAKE A LOOK, BUT I'VE WORKED CLOSE WITH SENATOR SINEMA.

>> Ted: RUBIN GUY YEAH GEAUX IS CHALLENGING SINEMA IN 2024.

>>> AS WE MENTIONED, THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY ANNOUNCED THAT SCIENTISTS AT THE LIVERMORE LABS IN CALIFORNIA CREATED NUCLEAR FUSION AND THAT'S A PROCESS THAT CREATES MORE ENERGY THAN IT USES AND A BIG DEAL THAT COULD MEAN AN INFEW INFINITE SUPPLY OF ENERGY.

>> Ted: WHAT LITTLE I KNOW, THIS IS PRETTY EXCITING AND WHAT EXACTLY WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY?

>> IT'S A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT FOR FUSION RESEARCH.

YOU SHOULD NOT BELIEVE WE WILL HAVE A REACTION TONIGHT EMPLOYEE TOMORROWBUT FROMFUSION RESEARCH, THIS IS FANTASTIC BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THIS IS PRESENTED AS WE GOT TWO MEGAJEWEL IN AND OUT, AND ONE FACTOR IS IN AND 30 TIMES MORE IS OUT.

THE REASON THIS IS SO, THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT IN WHICH THIS IS A BUMP DESIGN.

THIS IS AN INDIRECT DRIVE FUSION EXPERIMENT.

SO MOST OF THE ENERGY IS NOT SPENT ON LIGHTING THE FUSION WITH A MATCH.

THERE'S ONE THIRD OF ENERGY LIGHTS THE FIRE LIKE A MATCH.

FOR PEOPLE WHO DO DEFENSE WORK, IT'S FANTASTIC.

>> Ted: I WANT TO GET TO THE DEFENSE ASPECT IN A SECOND, BUT I WANT TO GET TO THE IDEA AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THIS COULD LEAD TO A POTENTIALLY INFINITE SOURCE OF ENERGY.

IS THAT TRUE?

>> YES, ABSOLUTELY.

WE HAVE VERY VAST OCEANS AND IT WILL HAVE FUSION AND SOONER OR LATER, WE WILL MASTER THE VERY CHEAP FUEL, THE FUEL WHICH FLOATS IN WATER AND EVERYWHERE AND ONE IN FIVE THOUSAND IS PART OF WHAT WE DRINK IS NUCLEAR FUSED.

THINK OF IT THAT WAY AND IT'S ENERGY THAT WE DRINK WITH EVERY COUPLE OF WATER.

SO WITHOUT DOUBT, BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS AS A STEPPING STONE AND SHOULD NOT EXPECT THAT TOMORROW, WE HAVE A FUSION REACTOR IN OUR POCKET.

THIS IS A VERY LONG PART AND RIGHT NOW, THIS IS FIRST STEP PUP HAVESTEP.SEVEN YEARS AGO, THE SAME FACILITY COULD NOT PRODUCE ONE THIRD OF THE ENERGY WE HAD TODAY.

THEY HAD DIFFICULTIES.

IT TAKES A LONG TIME.

AND FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT IT AND THEY TOOK FIVE YEARS EXTRA AND THE OUTCOME IS FANTASTIC, VERY FANTASTIC, VERY, VERY FANTASTIC.

THIS IS A POINT OF NATIONAL SECURITY.

>> Ted: I WANT TO MAKE THIS CLEAR BECAUSE HYDRO-JEN IS HYDROGEN IS THE MAJOR FACTOR.

THIS IS LIKE A GLASS OF WATER AND THERE IS ENOUGH OF THOSE ELEMENTS IN THAT GLASS OF WATER WITH THIS METHODOLOGY TO POWER A HOUSE FOR A YEAR?

>> YES, BUT AGAIN, ONE, TO TAKE MY WORDS CAREFULLY AND LISTEN.

THE CURRENT EXPERIMENTS ARE DONE WITH TWO HEAVY HYDROGENS.

IT'S NOT THE OFFICIAL ELEMENT.

WE MANUFACTURE THAT AND WE KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT, BUT IT'S EXPENSIVE.

AND YOU WANT TO STUDY THIS FOR NUCLEAR SECURITY PURPOSES AND SO, IN OTHER WORDS, THIS IS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT IT'S FROM NUCLEAR.

IF I WANTED TO BUILD A FUSION REACTOR FOR MY HOME, I WOULD BE BUILDING IT WITH DIFFERENT FUSIBLE MATERIALS WHICH IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THE OTHERS AND THAT AT LEAST A GENERATION AWAY FROM WHAT WE ARE BUILDING NOW.

SO PLEASE LOOK AT THIS AS A GREAT STEP FOR MANKIND.

WE LANDED ON THE MOON AND MADE THE FIRST STEP AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE WILL LIVE ON THE MOON TOMORROW.

IT TAKES TIME FOR ALL OF THE TECHNOLOGIES TO USE OR MOON AS A BASE TO GO GO TO TO MARS.

THAT IT'S A LONG WAY THAT WE HAVE TO WORK, DO HARD WORK TO AND POWER IT.

IT WILL BE SOME TIME BEFORE WE CAN DO THAT.

>> Ted: I HOPE I'M AROUND WHEN THAT HAPPENS.

YOU MENTIONED DEFENSE AND WHAT WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT THERE IN REFERENCE TO DEFENSE AND HOW BIG OF A DEAL IS THIS ANNOUNCEMENT?

>> BECAUSE THIS IS A MICROEXPLOSION OF A TYPE THAT GOVERNS TO NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

AND IN ORDER TO SEE HOW THESE DIFFERENT PROCESSES OCCUR AND THE TECHNOLOGY, YOU NEED TO MASTER THE PROCESS IN THE LABORATORY.

THIS IS A BIG SCALE AND WE NEED TO GO SMALLER AND SMALLER.

LOOK AT THE PHONE, HOW SMALL IT GOT.

THE PHONE I WAS USING, 987 AND I HAD THE PRIVILEGE AND A HUNDRED TIMES AND THE COMPUTER WAS BIGGER THAN TODAY'S DESKTOP.

TODAY I CAN PUT MORE COMPUTING POWER IN MY POCKET THAN I HAD IN MY CELL PHONE.

SO SCALING DOWN IS THE SKI KEY WORD AND WE CREATED AN ENVIRONMENT WITH THE TEMPERATURE AND EXTREME CONDITIONS OF MATTER WHICH YOU WILL PREVAIL IN A NUCLEAR ENVIRONMENT AND WE CAN STUDY CERTAIN PROCESSES NECESSARY FOR IMPROVING OUR UNDERSTANDING DIDN'T NATIONAL SECURITY.

BUT I WOULDN'T WANT TO USE THIS PROCESS AS THE POWERHOUSE.

THIS IS NOT THE WAY I WOULD DO IT.

[ Laughter ] >> Ted: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR EXPERTISE BECAUSE NOT ALL OF US ARE THEORETICAL PHYSICISTS AND YOU HELPED US TO UNDERSTAND THIS.

DOCTOR, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> Ted: UP NEXT ON ARIZONA HORIZON, THE HISTORY AND THE FUTURE OF ARIZONA'S WATER SUPPLY.

>> ASU RESEARCHERS PUT TOGETHER A PROJECT THAT LOOKS AT THE HISTORY OF WATER USE IN ARIZONA ALONG WITH WHAT THE WATER FUTURE MIGHT LOOK LIKE AND JOINING US NOW IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE KYLE CENTER FOR WATER POLICY AT THE MORRISON INSTITUTE AND DAVE WHITE, A SUSTAINABILITY SCIENTIST.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

SARAH, WE'LL START WITH YOU.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE EXAMINING WATER IN THE SOUTHWEST FROM 100 YEARS AGO BECAUSE WHAT, THAT'S WHEN THE FIRST COMPACT WAS DEVELOPED?

>> 1922 WAS THE YEAR THAT THE STATE'S FINALIZED THE COLORADO COMPACT WHICH WAS THE AGREEMENT TO SHARE WATER FROM THE COLORADO RIVER AMONG THE SEVEN COLORADO RIVER WATER USING STATES.

>> Ted: HOW DIFFICULT, DAVE WANT WAS IT TO COME UP WITH THAT COMPACT?

>> IT WAS AN IMPORTANT CULMINATION OF AN ERA OF COLLABORATION OF THE STATES AND A FORWARD-LOOKING ORIENTATION TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGION.

WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE WITH THAT COMPACT IS THAT THE AGREEMENT HAPPENED TO TAKE PLACE DURING ONE OF THE WETTEST PERIODS IN ABOUT 800 YEARS.

SO SOME OF THE DECISIONS THAT WERE MADE CREATED A LEGACY THAT WE STILL HAVE TO FACE TODAY.

>> Ted: THAT'S STILL IMPACTING NOW, ISN'T IT?

>> IT CERTAINLY IS AND NOW WE'RE FACING A MEGADROUGHT AND A PROCESS OF ORIDIFICATINO WHERE IT'S TRIER IN PART DRIER AND WE'RE FACING A 22-YEAR PERIOD WHERE IT'S THE DRYEST IN ABOUT THE LAST THOUSAND YEARS.

IT'S DIFFERENT FROM THEN AND TODAY.

>> Ted: IT IS FASCINATING HOW LITTLE TRIBES IN ARIZONA WERE INVOLVED IN ALL OF THIS.

>> TRIBES WERE NOT INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ORIGINAL COLORADO COMPACT AND TRIBES HAVE REALLY HAD TO FIGHT HARD TO OBTAIN THEIR OWN WATER RIGHT TO SECURE THEIR WATER RIGHT AND ALSO TO HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE IN COLORADO RIVER NEGOTIATIONS.

>> Ted: THEY'VE GOT THOSE SEATS NOW, INCREASING IMPORTANT PLACED IN THE TRIBES?

>> ABSOLUTELY AND NOW EVERY TRIBE SECURED ITS WATER RIGHT.

WE LIVE IN ARIZONA AND DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC, THE STRUGGLES THAT THE NAVAJO NATION WERE ENDURING BECAUSE OF WATER ACCESSIBILITY WERE PART OF THE STORY OF THE NAVAJO NATION NOT HAVING SECURED THEIR WATER RIGHTS.

BUT SOME TRIBES HAVE SECURED WATER RIGHTS AND HAVING THAT WATER GIVES THEM LEVERAGE IN THE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT WHAT TO DO AS WE GRAPPLE WITH DECREASING WATER SUPPLIES.

>> Ted: FEDS SUGGESTING, WHAT, TWO TO FOUR MILLION ACRE FEEDS AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN REAL TERMS?

>> WHAT THAT MEANS IN REAL TERMS, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DIRECTED THE STATES IN THE LOWER BASIN OF THE COLORADO RIVER INCLUDING ARIZONA TO COLLECTIVELY DELIVER A PLAN TO REDUCE THE DEMAND IN THE REGION BY TWO TO FOUR MILLION ACRE FEET WHICH EQUATES TO 25 TO 50% OF THE TOTAL DEMAND DEMAND BASIN AND IT IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT.

AND THOSE STATES, THE STATES HAVE BEEN COLLABORATING BUT WE'RE RELYING ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE AND DIRECTION TO THE STATE.

>> Ted: THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL PROVIDE GUIDANCE AND THEY CAN COME DOWN ON GUIDANCE COME, WHAT, NEXT SPRING?

>> THE BUREAU OF RECLAMATION IS CALLING THE SHOTS ON MANAGING THE COLORADO RIVER AND THEY'VE MADE VERY CLEAR THEY WOULD RIVER PREFER TO WHERE THE STATES AGREE TO LEAVE WATER IN THE RESERVOIRS.

BUT IT'S VERY UNLIKELY THE STATES WILL COME UP WITH AN AGREEMENT.

MEANWHILE, THE FEDS ARE CONDUCTING AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT SO THAT THEY CAN BE READY TO TAKE ACTION AND THAT WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN IN THE EARLY SPRING.

>> Ted: WILL FARMERS BE HIT AND WILL URBAN DEVELOPERS BE HIT?

>> I EXPECT IF THERE ARE CUTS -- AND WE HAVE TO HAVE CUTS BECAUSE BOTH LAKE POWELL AND LAKE MEAD ARE AT LOWERS WHERE THEY CAN GET TO A DEADPOOL WHERE NO WATER CAN BE DELIVERED.

I EXPECT IF THERE ARE CUTS, THEY WILL EXPECT ALL USERS.

>> Ted: IN ALL STATES?

>> ARIZONA AND CALIFORNIA WOULD BE THE MOST DIRECTED AND ARIZONA, IN PARTICULAR.

AND SO, WHAT WE NEED TO BE DOING IS TO BE THINKING PROACTIVELY AND TO BE ANTICIPATING AND PROVIDING PLANS TO ACCEPT THOSE CUTS IN ADVANCE OF THESE DECLARATIONS BY THE BUREAU OF RECLAMATION AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES IS WORKING TOWARD THAT SOLUTION SET RIGHT NOW.

>> Ted: YOU SET WE'RE GETTING TO A POINT TO CHANGE OUR CONSUMPTION AVERAGE AND WHAT CHANGES DO YOU HAVE IN MIND?

>> WELL, AGRICULTURE STILL IS THE MAIN WATER USER IN THE COLORADO SYSTEM, USING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 75% AND 80% OF THE WATER THAT'S WITHDRAWN.

SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING FOR BIG AMOUNTS OF WATER TO BE LEFT IN THE SYSTEM, WE REALLY NEED THE PARTICIPATION OF AGRICULTURE.

THAT'S HARD.

THAT MEANS LESS PRODUCTION AND MEANS FOOD PRICES GO UP, BUT WE CAN'T GET TO THESE BIG AMOUNTS OF WATER, CONSERVATION, WITHOUT INVOLVING AGRICULTURE.

CITIES WILL ALSO HAVE CUTS IN THE AMOUNT OF WATER THEY TAKE ON BOARD.

CITIES IN CENTRAL ARIZONA ARE STILL DELIVERING QUITE A LOT OF WATER FOR AQUA AQUIFER RECHARGE.

THEY WHAT HAVE THE LUXURY WITH AQUIFER INTO THE FUTURE.

>> Ted: THOSE GOOD DEEDS WITH LIKELY GO AWAY.

AND FARMERS PLANTING DIFFERENT CROPS?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

AND ON THE POSITIVE SIDE, WE NEED RADICAL EFFICIENCY TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR INNOVATION AND THINKING ABOUT NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND DRIP IRRIGATION AND VERTICAL FARMING AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES THAT CAN ALLOW US TO PRODUCE HIGH QUALITY, HIGH VALUE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS WITH LESS WATER.

SO THAT'S THE PIVOT WE NEED TO MAKE.

IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT THINKING ABOUT HOW TO REDUCE AND DO WITH LESS?

IT'S HOW TO PRODUCE MORE WITH MORE EFFICIENT WATER USE?

HOW TO WE PRODUCE HIGHER VALUE DROPS HIGHER VALUE PRODUCTS, HOMES, EVERYTHING THAT DRIVES OUR ECONOMY AND DO IT THROUGH TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION.

>> Ted: DAVE WHITE AND SARAH PORTER, GOOD CONVERSATION AND GOOD TO HAVE YOU BOTH HERE.

>> THANKS, TED.

♪♪ TED >> Ted: A TRADITIONAL COLONOSCOPY IS NOT SOMETHING PEOPLE LOOK FORWARD TO.

THERE'S A PRODUCT CALLED COLOGUARD WITH EXACT SCIENCES AND AS PA A PART OF LIFE SCIENCE RESEARCH AROUND PHOENIX, WE LOOK AT THIS TECHNOLOGY AND JOINING US IS KEVIN PARKER, THE VICE PRESIDENT OF PRECISION ONCOLOGY.

WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

>> THANKS, TED.

>> Ted: GOOD TO HAVE YOU.

I THINK I'VE SEEN COMMERCIAL.

WHAT IS COLOGUARD?

>> WE HAVE A BOX AND THIS IS A TEST YOU CAN TAKE FOR AVERAGE RISKED PEOPLE, AGED 45 AND OLDER AND YOU CAN TO DO THAT IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME, SEND IT TO THE LAB AND WE CHECK FOR WHETHER THERE'S BLOOD OR D.N.A.

EVIDENCE OF CANCER IN YOUR STOOL SAMPLE.

>> Ted: WHEN YOU CHECK, THERE'S D.N.A.

OR CANCER IN GENERAL?

>> D.N.A.

MARKERS IN THAT TEST.

>> Ted: INTERESTING.

YOU SAID FOR 45 PLUS WITH AN AVERAGE RISK FOR COLOCECTAL AND HOW IS AVERAGE RISK?

>> NO HISTORY IN THE PAST AND NO FAMILY HISTORY, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS AND YOUR MEDICAL PROVIDER WOULD PROVIDE FOR INFORMATION.

>> Ted: WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF ELEVATED RISK?

>> OFTENTIMES, A COLONOSCOPY.

>> Ted: SOMEONE IS WATCHING AND INTERESTED, HOW DO YOU GET IT AND USE IT?

>> TO LEARN MORE, YOU CAN ABOUT TO OUR WEBSITE, EXACTSCIENCES.COM OR COLOGUARDTESTS.COM.

THERE'S A SALE'S TEAM OUT EVERY DAY TALKING TO PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS TO EDUCATE THEM.

>> Ted: WHEN IT'S SENT IN, HOW LONG DOES IT TANG?

>> IT TAKE?

>> A WEEK TO TEN DAYS?

>> THEY COME BACK TO YOUR DOCTOR FIRST AND THEY WOULD HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU AND THE TEST RESULTS WOULD COME BACK TO ONE AS WELL.

>> Ted: HOW ACCURATE IS THIS TYPE OF TESTING?

>> SURE.

SO IT'S ACCURATE, 92% SENSITIVE TO THE PRESENCE OF COLORECTAL CANCER.

>> Ted: AS FAR AS FALSE POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES, YOU STILL GET THAT IN.

>> SO THE RECOMMENDATION IS IF YOU GET A POSITIVE RESULT, YOU GO ON FOR THAT.

>> Ted: TEST RESULTS SHOULD BE TREATED WITH CAUTION WHICH MANG MAKES SENSE.

OUT OF POCKET SPENDING, HOW DOES THAT WORK?

>> THE GREAT PART OF THIS TESTINGTESTING IT IS COVERED BY THE TASK FORCE, WHICH IS DECREED FOR A SERVICE, IT'S COVER BY A HEALTH PLAN AND IN MOST CASES, THERE A FEW EXCEPTIONS AND THIS IS CORED BY COVERED BY YOUR HEALTH PLAN.

>> Ted: MINIMAL AT BEST.

>> CORRECT.

TED TALK ABOUT T-GEN, AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS THERE AT THE BEGINNING THERE.

>> CORRECT.

SO HERE IN PHOENIX, WE PARTNERED WITH T-GEN AND ACQUIRED TWO COMPANIES, ONE IN THE SPRING OF 2020 AND '21 AND OUTSIDE OF SCREENING, IT'S A CANCER DIAGNOSIC AND WITH T-GEN, WE LOOK FOR MODIFICATIONS OR ANYTHING WITHIN YOUR CANCER TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN BENEFIT FROM A PARTICULAR TYPE OF TREATMENT.

OFTENTIMES IN LATE STAGE THREE OR FOUR CANCER.

>> Ted: SO IT'S USED FOR TESTING AND RESEARCH?

>> BUT A DIFFERENT TEST THAT'S EXTRA.

>> Ted: INTERNATIONAL GEE GENOMICS, YOU'RE DOWN AT THE CANCER CENTER?

>> YES.

IT'S BEEN A GREAT TIME TO JOIN THE SCIENCE CORRIDOR AND WE JOINED THAT BECAUSE WE THINK THERE'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWING BIOTECH AND THIS AREA HAS GROWN MORE THAN THE AVERAGE IN TERMS OF BIOTECH JOBS.

>> Ted: SO THINGS ARE HAPPENING DOWN THERE?

>> YES.

>> Ted: THE INCREASE IN COLORECTAL CANCER IN YOUNG ADULTS, WHY THE INCREASE?

THERE'S BEEN A BIG INCREASE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.

>> THERE'S A BIG INCREASE AND UNKNOWN AS TO WHAT'S CAUSING IT AND THE BEST THING IS TO GET GET SCREENED AND 30% ARE NOT SCREENED AND SHOULD BE AND IF YOU DETENT DETECT IT, TREATMENT IS 30%.

>> Ted: IT IS CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY TO BE TREATED.

>> HYPE NETHYPOTHETICALLY.

>> Ted: THE PHOENIX BIO BIOSCIENCE CORE AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

THAT IS IT FOR NOW.

I'M TED SIMONS THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

YOU HAVE A GREAT EVENING!

>> Announcer: RESEARCHERS ARE DEVELOPING A HEALTHIER TOMORROW.
