Author Description

Are you interested in scientific mysteries of the universe? How about quantum mechanics, the current explanation for the behavior of atoms? Have you heard of the strange implications of the theory, such as spooky action at a distance, fuzzy location of atomic particles, or human consciousness changing physical reality? Do you wonder how the atomic world could be so unusual? How about cancer research and treatment? Do you question why we are making such great progress in the laboratory, with exciting new biological and technological advancements, yet survival for many of the worst cancers remains stubbornly unchanged? Would you like a simple, conversational text focusing on the big picture for quantum mechanics and cancer? A text that explores both the scientific issues and the cultural ones that impact progress. If so, this book was written for you to read. The purpose is to provide a glimpse into the mysteries, debates, progress, and roadblocks around quantum mechanics and cancer research, from parallel perspectives. We will examine the issues in a fashion befitting the solemnity of the topics, but we will also have some fun doing it.
