In early January, Science Seminar students participated in the annual "Talking Science" event at Rockefeller University, where they learned through lecture and activities about how cancer metastasis works and novel ways to combat it. Students heard from Sohail Tavazoie, M.D., Ph.D., who is the Leon Hess Professor as well as a senior attending physician at Rockefeller University. Students then participated in a Q and A session with the speaker, asking some terrific questions, including Zoe F. '26 who had an incisive question about platelets.

Students then participated in interactive activities led by scientists in Dr. Tavazoie's lab, including deeper dives into proteins and their role in cancer and metastasis, an activity reading PET scans and histological samples, and an activity exploring medical case studies.
