I Gelosi Run-Down

Acme's winter show, I Gelosi, wrapped up last weekend and Rocket talks about the play. In the show, Revenge is a huge theme so asome of the songs in this show are revenge-related. Rocket also birefly talks about Ame's spring show, Scapino, and Holmes' production of Taming of the Shrew. Rocket also talks about The Boy, a new horror movie about a nanny who is hired to look after a life-size doll. Rocket also talks about school elections, orchestra seating auditions, and Animal Farm. Having just finished Animal Farm in class, Rocket plays "The Nature of the Beast" by ICE NINE KILLS from the new album Every Trick in the Book in which every song is inspired by a literary classic (this song relates to Animal Farm). Rocket also proposes a riddle and promptly forgets to tell the answer (tune in next week to hear it). Rocket reads some of the first chapter of Animal Farm.

Davisville, 2/1/16: An earlier, simpler way to detect breast cancer

Dr. Angela Courtney, left, who earned a PhD in integrative pathobiology from UC Davis last year, has developed a urine test to detect breast cancer. She has also formed Adrastia Biotech with fellow UC Davis alum Mike Gilson to develop a commercial version of the test … and survived breast cancer herself. Today we talk with Courtney and Gilson about her remarkable work, and what it would mean to have a simple, early way to detect a cancer that killed 41,000 women and 400 men in the United States in 2012. They filed for a formal patent at the end of last August, and hope to get the test to market in about two years. (photo courtesy UC Davis)
