Yale Science Diplomats: The Complexities of Cancer
February 20, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Location: Lamb Room
This talk will describe how medical advances have increased our understanding of ourselves and the cancers that afflict us, several innovative technologies that enable patients and scientists to understand how an individual’s genetic makeup can be used to predict cancer, and some cutting-edge therapies that takes advantage of our newfound knowledge.
The Yale Science Diplomats are a group of graduate students and postdocs passionate about science communication, education, and advocacy. YSD began in 2007, when a group of graduate students founded a “Scientists and Engineers of America” (SEA) chapter at Yale, which has since become the Yale Science Diplomats.
