Cancer triggers in the developing world

Boston Calling

Available for over a year

This week on Boston Calling, we hear how viruses and bacteria can lead to cancer in the developing world. Also, an extraordinary blue gem makes its public debut. We also prepare for life without the Twinkie and hear what happens when the fiscal cliff crisis meets Tolkien's Hobbit. (Image: A girl in Uganda with Burkitt's lymphoma, caused by a virus.
