Description:
Most people know both more and less about cancer than they think. This talk will begin with a group exploration of how much we collectively know, with missing details filled in as needed. There will also be a people-friendly exposé of Tom’s actual research discoveries, as well as a few speculations on the future (also known as, “Why you shouldn’t start smoking yet”).

Once upon a time Tom Tritton earned a living doing cancer research at Yale University (for 12 years) and at the University of Vermont (for 12 more years). Somewhere along the way he got sidetracked into administrative responsibilities (for yet another 12 years…and counting) but still maintains ties to his former profession by various writing, teaching, and service assignments.
