Science on Saturdays:
Aging or Cancer: The Telomere Connection
THIS SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 10AM-12PM
STERLING CHEM LAB, 225 PROSPECT STREET (FREE PARKING AT SACHEM-PROSPECT GARAGE)
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED. BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY!
Why do some folks live to be 120 years old without developing cancer, while others develop cancer during childhood? You would think immortality is a good thing, but not when it leads to cancer. At Science on Saturday March 31, come listen to Professor Sandy Chang (Yale Pathology) tell us about how telomeres, the structures at the end of your chromosomes, link aging and cancer.
Science Saturdays is an award-winning lecture series designed for families that brings the excitement of research and the passion of scientists to the community. Each event involves a lecture by a Yale professor and an hour of hands-on science demonstrations run by Yale students. This weekend will feature an inflatable planetarium! Bring the whole family! Refreshments will be served. Free parking is available at the Sachem-Prospect Garage on Prospect Street. Entrance to the garage is in the Yale Ingalls Ice Rink lot.
