Unveiling Cancer
Through engaging visuals and accessible explanations, we unveil the inner workings of cancer cells, which possess a relentless urge to multiply and spread throughout the body. We highlight key factors contributing to this uncontrolled cell division and discuss the impact it has on individuals diagnosed with cancer.
By the end of these training video series, viewers will have gained a deeper understanding of the cellular basis of cancer, realizing the urgency and significance of ongoing research in the fight against this formidable disease. Join us as we empower and inspire students to explore the world of science, ultimately contributing to the advancement of cancer treatments and cures.
Cancer a Rapidly Dividing Cell
An educational video series on defining basic cancer terms produced as a senior class project by students at the Geffen Academy. It covers fundamental topics such as types of cancer, stages of the disease, treatments, and other key concepts, and is designed to be educational and engaging. The videos are intended to be a helpful resource for individuals seeking to gain a deeper understanding of cancer, including patients, caregivers, and students, as well as healthcare professionals looking to refresh their knowledge or learn about new developments in the field. By breaking down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand explanations.
Time to Talk
The UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center (JCCC) and the UCLA Chapter of the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) present the Time to Talk Series: The goal of the series is to introduce young students to the occupations and disciplines that are a part of a modern cancer center’s treatment, research and administration. Each video will feature an AMWA member interviewing a member of the JCCC team - from doctors, researchers and nurses to lab technicians, computer scientists, fundraising professionals and executive staff. We want to show that studying STEM subjects opens up a world of opportunities to young students considering careers in the medical field.
