From the editor
Greetings from the white sandy beaches of St. Petersburg, Florida, where I (along with many of our readers) am enjoying the "Cancer Evolution and Ecology: Theory and Clinical Practice" conference.
Please enjoy this issue of the math oncology newsletter with topics including chaotic attractors, estimations of heterogeneity from spatiotemporal data, models in chemotherapy combinations, and avoidance of resistance.
Enjoy,
-Jeffrey West

#MathOnco News
Cancer Evolution and Ecology: Theory and Clinical Practice
Sandy Anderson: "This conference brings together clinicians, biologists, ecologists, physicists and mathematicians to celebrate the newly-founded Center of Excellence on Evolutionary Therapy at Moffitt Cancer Center." Follow along with the action at the conference hashtag: #EvolTherapy18
#MathOnco Books
The Evolution of Cooperation
This book "provides valuable insights into the age-old question of whether unforced cooperation is ever possible. Widely praised and much-discussed, this classic book explores how cooperation can emerge in a world of self-seeking egoists-whether superpowers, businesses, or individuals-when there is no central authority to police their actions."
