In Time: Life, Light, and the Changing Mind

Cancer is not static; it is constantly changing, growing, and adapting. In this presentation, I will show you how it is possible to literally observe tumors in real time using glowing markers, transforming invisible processes into something we can see unfold. This is all crucial, as understanding cancer's behavior, moment by moment, helps scientists develop smarter, more effective therapies. You will leave here with a new perspective on cancer: no longer viewed as a static mass, but rather as a dynamic, living system that we are learning to monitor and outsmart.

Growing up, we all heard about this disease old people get, sometimes mistakenly referred to as "Old-Timers" or "All-Timers' Dementia". But what is Alzheimer's, and why does it seem like so many more people are getting it? In this talk, we'll dive into what we know about the symptoms and biology of Alzheimer's, some hopeful treatments, and a few lifestyle choices you can make right now to mitigate your risk of developing it.
