Marsha R. Rosner, Charles B. Huggins Professor and Chair of the Ben May Department for Cancer Research, delivered the 512th Convocation address at Rockefeller Memorial Chapel on the University of Chicago campus. The talk, titled "Who Owns You?," recounted her experience as a new mother and young professor wrestling with the question of ownership of the placenta at her daughter's birth. Given the human placenta's rich source of biological material, including a protein that enables cell growth, the question of ownership is a complex one that leads to bigger questions about who owns the individual, her body, her work and ideas. ➡ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/UCHICAGOytSubscribe About #UChicago: Since its founding in 1890, the University of Chicago has been a destination for rigorous inquiry and field-defining research.
