This is the first presentation I've done that uses a format called a "slidedoc", essentially a more detailed set of images that provides a visual version of complex ideas in a way that can stand alone without someone presenting slides to you.

My hope is that people will be able to find this a very brief, understandable way to explain big ideas about cancer. This format also has the advantage of being easily sharable and can be viewed easily on many platforms, including mobile devices. If people like the format, I'll try to present more posts in this way. I hope you'll provide feedback.

A Brief Tornado. I love the analogy Dr. Antonoff gave us to describe her presentation. I felt it earlier too and am looking forward to going back for deeper dive.
