Would you like some crumpets with your tea and cancer epidemiology? We were invited to discuss current research in cancer epidemiology with leading faculty at the Moffitt Cancer Center here in Tampa Bay. We also talk about the history of cancer and how we knew about the dangers of tobacco and smoking way before the 1950s.
Also, a shoutout to the Health Impact Partners new resource tool for Health Departments: http://healthequityguide.org/
