Bridging the Gap: Medical Humanities, Bioethics, and Society

July 29th, 2009 6:00 PM   -   7:30 PM
In the ever-changing landscape of biological and medical research, the boundaries of bioethics are becoming increasingly blurry. From stem-cell research and cutting-edge surgical advances, to nanotechnology and personalized genomics, how do research and policy intersect to affect the lives of everyday citizens?

Join experts Laurie Zoloth, Ph.D., Director of Northwestern University’s Center for Bioethics at Northwestern University and Mark Siegler, M.D., Director of The University of Chicago’s MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics for a timely and engaging conversation on these and other critical issues that face scientists, policymakers, and you. The discussion will be moderated by Gabriel Spitzer, science, health and environment reporter for Chicago Public Radio.

This event is FREE to the public. Registration recommended at 773-947-3150 or rsvp@sciencechicago.com
