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.

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.

SUMMARY:The Brain and the Gut
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday October 16th for a series of talks exploring the relationship between the brain and the gut. We are honoured to host three phenomenal presenters for the evening: Dr. Brett Finlay\, Dr. Leslie Wicholas\, and Thara Vayali. \nDr. Brett Finlay is a Professor in the Michael Smith Laboratories at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Finlay’s research interests are focused on host-microbe interactions at the molecular level\, specializing in Cellular Microbiology. He has published over 500 papers and has been inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame. He is the co-author of the books: Let Them Eat Dirt and The Whole Body Microbiome. \nDr. Leslie Wicholas is a psychiatrist with an expertise in the clinical understanding of the gut-brain axis. She has become increasingly involved in the emerging field of Nutritional Psychiatry\, exploring connections between diet\, nutrition\, and mental health. Currently\, Dr. Wicholas is the director of the Food as Medicine program at the Mood Disorder Association of BC. \nThara Vayali holds a BSc in Nutritional Sciences and a MA in Education and Communications. Ms. Vayali is a frequent speaker and columnist that prioritizes engagement\, understanding\, and community as pivotal pillars for change. Additionally\, she has trained in naturopathic medicine and advocates about women’s phsyiology and body literacy. \nEach of the three speakers will give a short presentation\, followed by an audience-driven panel discussion. After the seminar\, there will be a catered social gathering with healthy food and non-alcoholic drinks. \nWe look forward to seeing you there~*
