Welcome to a very special episode of The Rest of Science, because this episode today is produced in partnership with Cancer Research UK, our lead partner.

Yeah, this is very exciting. Over the last few months, you all have heard us talk about cancer and dinosaurs, chickens, breweries, sea urchins. We haven't done

naked mole rats yet. Oh, wait, yes, we have. Much to everyone's absolute delight of the naked

mole rats. The thing is, is that cancer is this incredibly rich vein of fascinating science stories. And so we wanted to take this opportunity

to share a few of those with you. Because underneath all of it, the patterns that keep on

emerging is that cancer evolves, right? It responds to its environment. It competes for resources. And

when we push back on it, it keeps fighting back.

That's right. And so, you know, Hannah and I have been talking to the brilliant people at Cancer Research UK.

In fact, you guys asked for this. I think one of the most common topic requests in the YouTube comments is I want to know more about what's happening with cancer research now.

And Hannah and I are in a position to literally ask the people who are funding the big,

grand initiatives.

So we're literally going to cover stuff that just started this month that's being funded

by Cancer Research UK.

Absolutely.

And for more information about Cancer Research UK, their research, their

breakthroughs and how you can support them, you can visit Cancer Researchuk.org

forward slash rest is science. Or just listen to this show. Yeah. Yeah. And you know what?

If you support them, that'll give us more things to talk about because more

research will be funded.

So in a way you're helping us.

This is a little bit selfish.

Cancer, named after crabs, literally, like cancer, the astrological sign.
