Congratulations to all the finalists of the CancerChallenge.eu who pitched their ideas about how to improve cancer prevention, research, treatment and life with cancer.
One of our own, Shishir, gave a strong pitch as one of the top six (out of 119 great ideas). The winners will be announced on Wednesday. Good luck!

One of the greatest responsibilities of a researcher is the dissemination of knowledge. Our grad students are taking this to heart through various articles, blogs, and presentations.
Here, our grad student, Rita Turpin, wrote about her experiences working with laboratory mice. Her article highlights why animals are studied, how they are treated, and how the scientific community enforces ethical research practices.
