Tasmanian Devils: the Science of Cancer and Conservation

What exactly is this devil cancer, how do they get it and what’s being done about it? Wildlife biologist Stewart Huxtable introduces the science behind Devil Facial Tumour Disease, an infectious cancer threatening the survival of devils in the wild. Stewart will also outline the extraordinary conservation efforts taking place to ensure devils do not go extinct, and discusses the science underpinning these efforts.
