December 11, Alternative Medicine versus Science: Winners and Losers (ASCSA Public Event)
The Australian Science Communicators (South Australia) is holding a public event on Tuesday December 11 from 6 pm, Alternative Medicine versus Science: Winners and Losers
The presentations will examine Pseudoscience, particularly in the context of Medicine. Our distinguished panel comprises real scientists and science communicators, all with a healthy disrespect for those who would tout snake oil. It promises to be a cracking good night.
I’m one of the presenters, and I’ll be giving you a small dose of homoeopathy. The others are:
Professor Rob Morrison (Science Communicator): What and why about Friends of Science in medicine; why pseudosciences are not science
Tory Shepherd (Journalist, The Advertiser): Pseudoscience and the public, the media angle
Professor Marcello Costa (Prof of Neurophysiology, School of Medicine, Flinders University): Moving science into the medical arena
Professor Alastair MacLennan (Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Adelaide): In depth case studies for medical impact on women/children’s health
Location:
