What if...? Coping with uncertainty in health science
How can we make decisions that affect our health when scientific advice is never 100% sure? What effect will our behaviour really have on our future lives, what benefit will a public health intervention have, and how should new technologies be governed to ensure consumer safety? This panel discussion will bring together experts from various fields to discuss how individuals and government can best cope with inevitable uncertainty and disagreement about the underlying biomedical science.

An Unsung Hero? Joseph Naples, Resurrectionist
In early 19th century London there were more opportunities to dissect than ever, but access to bodies was limited by the law and body donation was a rarity. Could the surgeons have worked without their resurrection men, supplying them with subjects from the burial grounds of the city? The story of the life of bodysnatcher and diarist Joseph Naples, and the circumstances that made it necessary to rob graves for the progression of medical science.

Overtreated: The Role of Medical Evidence in Reducing Practice Variation and Controlling Costs
Medicine: Mind the Gap Bridging the Gap Between Evidence and Practice An NIH Seminar Series Comparative effectiveness research has been touted as one of the most important paths to bending the health care cost curve downward. In the long run, medical evidence will undoubtedly rationalize the delivery of health care and help control costs, but what about the short term? The Dartmouth Atlas Project has documented a 2.5-fold variation in per capita Medicare spending in different parts of the country, most of which cannot be explained by variation in prevalence of illness or patient preference.

Skin Stem Cells: Biology and Clinical Promise
Elaine Fuchs is internationally known for her research in skin biology and associated human genetic disorders. Her current research focuses on the molecular mechanisms that affect how multipotent stem cells respond to external cues, change their program of gene expression, exit their niche, and adapt to make the epidermis, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles of the skin. Fuchs has begun to explore how normal tissue homeostasis changes during wound repair and in human disorders where tissue development goes awry. This lecture is designed for the interested layperson and is free and open to the public. Elaine Fuchs is the R...

Health communication : new methods for old problems
Language and communication are central to medical practice. Disciplines such as anthropology, sociology and linguistics have long histories of rich and interesting research in medical settings,, and the boundaries between many social scientific disciplines are increasingly blurring. In contrast, medical science has been slow to learn from research in other disciplines, particularly research which challenges medical orthodoxy. This health communication day will discuss breaching the boundaries between medical science and ethnography and language analysis, to consider how to communicate productively across different paradigm...
