Curing Cancer with Math Lecture

First of all, sorry I took so long to write this.  I understand if you don't except it.

Second, I really enjoyed this talk.  I work in IDeA Labs in the CS Dept and we do a lot of mathematical modeling.  One of my friends studied predator-prey models and developed one for leaf cutter ants.  So when the speaker started talking about applying them to cancer I was very interested and followed her quite easily.  It was pretty amazing how she was able to develop the model then optimize the medicine dosage in order to help patients.
