    Math Can Help Uncover Cancer's Secrets

    Math Can Help Uncover Cancer's Secrets

    Irina Kareva translates biology into mathematics and vice versa. She writes mathematical models that describe the dynamics of cancer, with the goal of developing new drugs that target tumors. "The power and beauty of mathematical modeling lies in the fact that it makes you formalize, in a very rigorous way, what we think we know," Kareva says. "It can help guide us to where we should keep looking, and where there may be a dead end." It all comes down to asking the right question and translating it to the right equation, and back.

    Metabolism | Pentose Phosphate Pathway

    Metabolism | Pentose Phosphate Pathway

    Join us in this video where we discuss the pentose phosphate pathway. We discuss how glucose can use an alternative pathway to make NADPH's, which are essential in antioxidant reactions, cholesterol synthesis, and fatty acid synthesis. It's also important in the synthesis of nucleotides.

    Talk About Your Death While You're Still Healthy

    Talk About Your Death While You're Still Healthy

    Do you know what you want when you die? Do you know how you want to be remembered? In a candid, heartfelt talk about a subject most of us would rather not discuss, Michelle Knox asks each of us to reflect on our core values around death and share them with our loved ones, so they can make informed decisions without fear of having failed to honor our legacies. "Life would be a lot easier to live if we talked about death now," Knox says. "We need to discuss these issues when we are fit and healthy so we can take the emotion out of it -- and then we can learn not just what is important, but why it's important."
