What actually is a healthy diet?
Why does it seem that fat is bad for us one minute and then sugar is bad the next? How much exercise do we really need? Is it still true that a glass of red wine every day will protect against heart disease? Why does advice from the experts seem to change every few years?
Healthway, Science on the Swan and the City of Perth Library are pleased to present the Naked Scientist,
Dr Chris Smith with Professor Peter Klinken, WA Chief Scientist to unravel the confusion around misconceptions and conflicting health claims. Health advice can change as new research findings are published.
Join the very entertaining and informative Naked Scientist for a guide on how to navigate confusing and sometimes inaccurate health information.
Dr Chris Smith is in Australia thanks to the Science on the Swan 2017 Conference and is the Sir Walter Murdoch Distinguished Adjunct Professor, Public Education of Science, Murdoch University.
Bookings are essential as places are limited.
