On Tuesday, Nov. 23, at Jefferson Lab — just before Thanksgiving — join Kristen Kulp, a cancer research scientist with the Biology and Biotechnology Research Program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, as she discusses "What's for Dinner?

She will also describe quick and easy cooking techniques that the audience can use to reduce their exposure to these harmful compounds.
The presentation begins at 7 p.m. in Jefferson Lab's CEBAF Center auditorium, located at 12000 Jefferson Ave., Newport News. The program is free and open to anyone interested in learning more about science; it will last about one hour and include a question and answer period at the end.
