Dear Café Scientifiquers,
Our next café will happen on Tuesday Aug 30th, 7:30pm at the Railway Club (579 Dunsmuir St). We will be hosting Jacquelyn Cragg and Ward Plunet from the International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD), and their topic will be:
From headlines to reality: How to be a smart consumer of scientific knowledge
We are bombarded with the latest discoveries from science … a cure for cancer? A cure for spinal cord injury? A cure for obesity? This talk will allow you to analyze science with a new, critical lens. We will discuss the role of the media in portraying scientific findings, the politics of research, and a few aspects of evidence based medicine. Join us for a lively discussion!
We hope to see you there!
