Science Cafe focuses on cancer immunotherapy

This month's Science Cafe at 7 p.m. March 26 at the Fairfield Public Library will focus on the latest research on cancer immunotherapy.

The presenter is Dr. George Weiner, director of the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center and professor of internal medicine at University of Iowa. He will share how specialists are learning to use the immune system to treat cancer.

Science Cafes are free public events that bring people together in a casual setting to discuss interesting and current science topics. Speakers are professional scientists who strive to keep the content accessible to the general public, while a moderator assists with group dynamics. What began as a grassroots movement to help scientists engage with local communities has expanded into hundreds of sites around the world.
