Excited to announce that registration for the 13th
@mathonco.bsky.social workshop on Treatment Revolution is now open. Held onsite @moffittnews.bsky.social Nov 2-Nov 7 #MoffittIMO more details: imo13.eventbrite.com. Deluxe travel awards are available on a competitive basis, apply by 10/03!
Abstract: Current definitions of cancer describe what cancer does but not what it is. Furthermore, they derive largely from human cases and may not apply to other multicellular organisms, especially those lacking a basal membrane. Comparative oncology, however, has shown that cancer occurs across a broad diversity of organisms. What definition should be adopted when framing cancer in a comparative and evolutionary perspective? And can an evolution-based definition be applied in clinical oncology? We will show that a universal definition of cancer not only helps provide a basis for progress in comparative oncology, but can also help to explain the diversity of cancer phenomena within humans.
Join @cmaley.bsky.social, @lucielaplane.bsky.social, Joel Brown and Benjamin Spada for a live EvoChat discussion about "How we define cancer matters", hosted by the International Society for Evolution, Ecology and Cancer (ISEEC).

Finishing up #EBECancer25 with a comparative genomics tutorial by Daniel Chavez. What an amazing week of evolution, ecology and cancer biology
@trevorgraham.bsky.social @yosoykit.bsky.social @afrankell.bsky.social
Closing keynote from the fabulous @atjcagan.bsky.social on "The impossibility of whales" discussing somatic mutagenesis across species. Brilliantly delivered and exceptionally illustrated talk, as anyone who knows Alex's work would expect! #EBECancer25
