Science Café Las Vegas, supported by the UNLV College of Sciences, is an organization geared towards bringing fascinating science discussions to the public of Southern Nevada.
We invite scientists to give short (~10-15 minute) presentations to the public at our fantastic venue, McMullan's Irish Pub, and then have roundtable discussions about anything you could possibly wish to know.
Science Café Las Vegas is on the first Wednesday of every month from 6:30-8 p.m.
Come on down to the pub for lively science discussion, delicious brews, fantastic food, and a great time! Family friendly (under age 21 allowed).

"Understanding the Tumor Microenvironment and Why Its So Hard To Kill Cancer"
Solid tumors are particularly difficult to kill. They create an environment around them that favors growth yet shelters them from a variety of treatments. These "cold" tumors are resistant to the patient's immune system. Current research is investigating ways to crack through this barricade, making the tumor "hot", to allow for more effective treatments.
