From the close of the article:

"Moffitt Cancer Center has its own rocker-scientist band, the ReMissions and so does MD Anderson, The Checkmates. The National Institutes of Health’s band, the Affordable Rock ‘n Roll Act, includes former NIH director Francis Collins on lead vocals and guitar."

Wow, talk about your Renaissance men!

High-powered intellectual abilities, but these guys still know how to rock on out!
