How Prostate Cancer Works

Just a tad late for Father’s Day, but every day is a good day to raise awareness about cancer education and prevention. Prostate cancer is the second biggest cancer killer in the United States and the U.K. Do you understand the basics of cancer?

AsapSCIENCE, a new YouTube channel that tells general science stories in the style of MinutePhysics, put together this animation highlighting the checkpoints in your cells that fight cancer and how they go wrong when the disease takes over. You’ll learn not only how the cells lose control, but why risks increase with age and perhaps why some parts of the world have higher rates than others. Give them a follow!

The secret of success is concentrating interest in life, interest in sports and good times, interest in your studies, interest in your fellow students, interest in the small things of nature, insects, birds, flowers, leaves, etc. In other words to be fully awake to everything about you & the more you learn the more you can appreciate & get a full measure of joy & happiness out of life. I do not think a young fellow should be too serious, he should be full of the Dickens some times to create a balance.
