SUMMARY:KPU-Science World Speaker Series: The War in Our Genes
DESCRIPTION:This talk begins at 7:00pm\, doors open at 6:00pm. \nDate: Wednesday\, October 9 \nTalk: The War in Our Genes \nSpeaker: Mikael Mokkonen\, KPU Biology/SFU Biological Sciences\n \nAbstract: The modern world poses many challenges to human health through new diseases and a rapidly aging population. This modern environment is quite different from the ancestral environment in which humans originally evolved\, thus creating a mismatch that may be responsible for a variety of disorders and diseases. This talk will discuss how conflicts of interest in our genomes\, mismatches between our genes and our environment\, as well as trade-offs between life stages have allowed common diseases and disorders such as pre-eclampsia\, cancer\, diabetes and even aging to affect modern humans. \nThe KPU-Science World Speaker Series is a partnership developed between KPU and Science World that supports the expansion of science in our communities. Join us for our fifth season of talks that work to engage\, entertain and educate guests with fascinating insights into the world of science.

SUMMARY:Misinformation is Killing Us — Rx: The Truth
DESCRIPTION:Timothy Caulfield is an author and professor. He’s a Canada Research Chair in health and law policy at the University of Alberta\, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, and the host of A User’s Guide to Cheating Death on Netflix. \nAnd soon\, he’ll be an SFU honorary degree holder. \nTo celebrate the occasion\, Professor Caulfield will deliver a free public talk on the dangers of health misinformation\, and how to combat it. \nPopular culture is rife with science-free misinformation amplified by celebrity marketers and what Caulfield calls a “wellness industry complex.” As trust in conventional health-care systems is eroding and social media platforms are used to spread pseudoscience and conspiracy theories\, it is becoming harder to tell scientific truth from nonsense. \nAnd it could be killing us. \n“There is growing recognition that this kind of health misinformation is having a tangible impact on the public’s health\,” says Caulfield. “For example\, the World Health Organization recently declared the vaccine hesitancy caused by vaccination myths to be one of the top threats to global health.” \nCaulfield calls for a stronger response to misinformation and unproven healthcare practices. From greater oversight of health and wellness marketing\, to stricter regulation of healthcare professions\, and deeper public engagement from the science community\, more must be done to protect public health and our critical thinking. \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a provocative\, no-nonsense\, thought-provoking discussion on October 9th. And bring your questions! Professor Caulfield’s talk will include a Q&A moderated by Professor Tania Bubela\, Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University.
