This was a fascinating talk on so many levels about immunotherapy. The cartoon drawings at the beginning are great for the beginner to understand the immune system and the roles of things such as Tcells and dendritic cells. Hearing the history of how Yervoy came to be was very interesting and Jedd Wolchok's explanantions are outstanding as usual. A little long but can't recommend it enough.

If you are at all interested in immunotheraphy, watch this. The presenters take care to explain (in ways I can understand) the science and some of thethe politics behind immunotheraphy.
It is very informative and well worth an hour of your time!
