New Insight From a New Researcher

Here is another great TED Talks video about a brilliant young girl who has noticed some stunning breakthroughs in the field of cancer research. Her discoveries are bound to be at the forefront of fighting cancer in the future. Even though the video is long, it is very interesting to hear Ms. Vertes' new insight into this disease which has plagued mankind for far too long.

I hope everyone enjoys this video and finds something interesting along the way.
