We organize accessible science events in all of your favorite hangouts!
Join us for an evening of discussions at The Refinery focusing on growing global healthcare challenges! Tonight's talks will be presented by Dr. Amber Gum, who will speak about the increasing prevalence of depression and strategies to reverse this trend, Dr. Lindsey Shaw, who is discussing the rise in resistance to antibiotics and what's next in the "post-antibiotic era," and Justin Gibbons, who will provide an up to date perspective on malaria and the challenges of treating it.
Speakers include:
Dr. Amber Gum: Well, that's depressing: What can we do about the global rise of depression?
More people are disabled by depression worldwide than by any other condition, and its prevalence is on the rise. Decades of research demonstrate that basic behavior changes can help - if we do them. But changing behavior is hard. Colleagues and I have been working to pare down established behavioral interventions into very brief strategies that are easy for providers and patients to learn and implement, by identifying values, setting feasible goals, and developing step-by-step plans.
Dr. Lindsey Shaw: Bad Bugs, No Drugs
The World Health Organization recently identified antibiotic resistance as 1 of the 3 greatest threats to mankind in the 21st century. However the pharmaceutical industry has all but abandoned the development of new drugs. Bacteria already exist that are resistant to every known treatment, which means a post-antibiotic era is almost at hand, where simple infections are once again life-threatening. We will discuss how we got here, and what we can do next to prevent impending global doom.
Justin Gibbons: Malaria and The Red Queen: The Collision of Evolution and Public Health
Malaria is one of the most prolific killers in human history. It is consistently responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths each year, mostly children under the age of 5. Eradication of malaria is possible, but our efforts have always reversed by the evo
