Join us for a Cancer Research UK and Science on Google+ Hangout on Air as we speak to Professor Pamela Kearns and Professor +Richard Gilbertson about childhood cancers.
Pam is a Professor of Clinical Paediatric Oncology at the University of Birmingham. She is also the Director of the Cancer research UK Clinical Trials Unit, which is one of the largest cancer trials units in the UK.

Stop feeding kids with GMO and other artificially manipulated and overprocessed food..
We all need clean air and water and among other “activities” must stop building cell towers..
Our industrial mode of life effects precious life, not only human, but all kinds of forms of life that is struggling to our survive artificially “created” human-monstrosity. (just naming a few of them living in the cities: birds, bees, plants, pets..)
Hope some day sciences will become more PROFESSIONAL , means Independent from being controlled by their “sponsoring” and shamelessly ignorant commercial mass producers, and governments. Hopefully some day researchers will begin to learn, as everyone in all schools, how to take Full Responsibility for what we do in labs.. How much harm we humans cause to people, and nature?? Our ultimate teacher that does not belong to any human society is Nature but we do still not understand its Laws.
The lab and other research “discoveries” are not just “exciting” advertisement and popculture’s entertainment. True sciences shall be protected from money manipulations.
