Event Details

In this series, Dr. Michael Mosley shows how drugs have revolutionized medicine and changed the course of human history. Unfolding over a period of 200 years, it’s an extraordinary tale of daring, self-experimentation, revelation, genius, and outright luck. Mosley recounts how humans have learned to fight back against disease and death—from unleashing the power of nature’s medicine cabinet to the mass production of modern pharmaceuticals. With his characteristic enthusiasm and hands-on approach, Mosley takes you on a journey of discovery and scientific breakthrough that has saved millions of lives and transformed the world—and that promises a personalized, genetic approach to medicine in the future.

Presented by Professor of Psychology, Seth Senecal.

A series of documentary film viewings followed by a discussion to explore a wide variety of topics and matters of interest. Held on the last Saturday of the month.
