801 Sherbrooke St. W., Frank Dawson Adams (FDA) Auditorium, 3450 Rue University, Montreal, QC, H3A 2A7, CA
Join the McGill Office for Science and Society for a special screening and panel discussion of "Science Moms", a documentary film that gives a voice to the science-minded moms - moms who are too often drowned out by the fear mongers, the shamers, and of course, the CelebMoms! Through interviews with "science moms" who are on the front lines of this battle, the film dissects the bogus claims of these celebrities one by one and explain in simple language what the science really shows about GMOs, vaccines, homeopathy, and more....Topics that are often in the headlines, yet more often than not, misunderstood.
Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion moderated by Joe Schwarcz, with film director Natalie Newell, science communicator Kavin Senapathy, neuroscientist Alison Bernstein, and other science-minded Montreal parents!
