June 9
Hey, did you hear that the president’s budget request includes massive funding cuts for scientific research? We sure did! So on Monday, June 9th, a special edition of Smarty Pints is hosting five UW researchers for a panel on how recent federal actions are changing the landscape for science and research. Come learn what’s up and why it matters! Monday, June 9th at 6:30! And, buy your scientist friends a beer. They’ve been on a wild ride.

June 23
Kacey Rosenthal 
Putting the brakes on aggressive breast cancer
Kacey Rosenthal is a PhD candidate in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Washington. She studies an aggressive form of breast cancer using techniques like making cells glow in the dark so that doctors can understand better how to stop it from growing and spreading. She will talk about finding a way to put the brakes on this type of breast cancer in the hopes of helping patients live longer and healthier lives.

Also, we could use another speaker on this date! Contact us if you're interested in speaking at a future Smarty Pints! info@burkegilmanbrewing.com

Andrea Lius
It's Time To Die
Andrea Lius is a PhD candidate in the Department of Pharmacology who studies a process in the cell that can make cancer more aggressive. In her James Bond-themed talk, she compares cancer cells to secret agents like Bond—while both of which may seem invincible, they have characteristics that can make them vulnerable. She shares how cancer biologists like herself can expose and target these vulnerabilities to find new ways to kill cancer.
