KITP: Cancer Clone Wars

Clone Wars: how are stockbrokers like colorectal cancer cells?

The Kavli Institute has a very interesting biophysics program series...

This weeks colloquium:

"Physics and Mathematics of Cancer Metastasis" - Robijn Bruinsma, UCLA, explains (NOT ONLINE YET podcast, video, slides)

excellent colloquium on "cancer for theorists"
including discussion of the basics of cancer and metastasis,
mathematics of cancer epidemiology,
including the Master Equation for microevolution of cancer cells,
and open questions

soon likely to be a KITP program...

bottom line: everyone will get cancer, eventually, just from the Law of Large Numbers,
unless something else kills you first

we should do something about that...
