University of Chicago Roundtable

Cancer Research Today

von

The University of Chicago Roundtable brings listeners into a discussion of a timely public issue. This program is titled “Cancer Research Today,” focusing on the state and significance of cancer research as understood in 1949.

Presented as a roundtable, the program centers on spoken discussion rather than a dramatic story. Its subject invites listeners to hear perspectives on scientific research and its place in public life, in the context of a period when medical knowledge and treatment were developing.

The result is an informative, discussion-led broadcast for listeners interested in science and health. Its appeal lies in hearing a serious topic explored through the conversational format of a university radio program.
