Cancer has been defined by how it appears in animals – a tumor must break through the basement membrane of a tissue to be called a cancer. But plants don’t have basement membranes. When we ask how a phenomenon appears in different species, it gives us a new view of that phenomenon.

Marc Tollis, Amy Boddy, Valerie Harris and Pamela Winfrey joined forces to create "Animal Battle", a game where animals with different life histories survive (or not) in a variety of environments.
