Maria Babak, Associate Professor at City University of Hong Kong, shared on LinkedIn:
“Another day, another popular science talk, this time at HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College.
Schools usually pick my how to solve the murder talks, but this time I spoke about the history of cancer.
- Did the dinosaurs have cancer?
- How did Andreas Vesalius search for black bile in the human body?
- How did Sidney Farber decide to treat leukemia patients with aminopterin?
- How did Barnett Rosenberg discover cisplatin?
And many, many more. Students were so captivated!
When the school bell rang, I asked: ‘We finish now or one more story?’ All the kids said, ‘More stories, please!’ It was such a cool feeling!”
