Let's talk about health lecture series 2018/19

The series resumes on 10 October 2018, this year partnering up with colleagues at the The Dick Vet School for two additional talks on animal health.

Let's Talk About Health and Disease is a series of public lectures which run annually from October through to March.

It is aimed at senior school pupils interested in studying medicine, veterinary medicine or the life sciences at university as well as interested members of the general public and health professionals.

The series allows scientists pioneering new research at the University of Edinburgh to share their latest ideas and discoveries with the public and provides attendees with the opportunity to advance their knowledge of health and what happens in disease.

Here's this year's programme:
