Scientists at Oregon State University and Oregon Health and Science University have teamed up to find new ways to treat endometriosis, ovarian cancer and other health conditions using nanoparticles and magnetic fields. Joining us to tell us more about this fascinating research are OPB science reporter Jes Burns, who is also the host and producer behind the “All Science. No Fiction.” video series, and OPB cinematographer and editor Brooke Herbert. This episode was recorded with a live audience at the Tomorrow Theater in Portland.
