Hey party people, surprise Saturday post!

I am coming to you sort of live from the 4th floor of NYU’s Kimmel Center, site of the NYC FoodEDU Student Food Collaborative TEDxManhattan viewing party (official Meetup site for the event here). For more information about TEDxManhattan, try this link here; we’re currently watching the third session, which kicks off with an old TED video of Dr. William Liu of the Angiogenesis Foundation, “Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?” So far I am very happy to hear him mention quality of life as a consideration in the usefulness of angiogenesis-based cancer treatment.

I’ll be updating this post as the presentations continue to inspire me to comment, stay tuned (or read on, if you’re reading this after the fact).
