Water is a molecular liquid

Timothy Newman

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Science and society are failing to grapple with the public health burden of cancer. In this short perspective piece, I contrast reductionism and complexity in cancer research, using water as a simple example, arguing for more 'ecological' approaches to cancer. This is a call to arms to physical scientists, ecologists and others to get involved, to link up with cancer clinicians and cancer biologists, and an appeal to funding agencies to link up across disciplines to make a difference.
