    Hello! My name is Keenan, and I’m a professor at Minnesota State University Mankato and a cancer scientist.

Today’s episode is introductory, covering what I do, cancer, the definition of life, and how philosophy plays a huge role in science.

About For Whom the Cell Tolls: Cancer Biology

From the publisher's feed

Welcome to For Whom the Cell Tolls! This cast explores the fascinating stories of Biology that I've encountered in my journey as a Biology Professor and lymphoma scientist at Minnesota State University and my previous experience at Mayo Clinic. Major themes to be explored include cancer, tumorigenesis, new therapy mechanisms, immunology, life/death, disease ecology, microbiology, and evolution, among others. I try to integrate philosophy, culture, and the arts alongside emerging Biology findings to share the stories of life that I have always loved. Enjoy!
