This unique conference brings together the world's brightest minds in the fields of science, physics, philanthropy, and of course, religious and political leaders alike.

'Cancer is a constant emergency.â?
Unfortunately, Cancer is something that Vice-President Biden is very familiar with. He lost his oldest son, 'Beau' Biden III to brain cancer in May of 2015.
The Pope intervened just after Joe Biden, allowing for a brief greeting, perhaps remembering his trip to Washington last year.
