Event Description

Join us for this free Café Scientifique event and learn more about syphilis, one of the world’s oldest known diseases.

Syphilis, one of the oldest known diseases dating back to over 2000 years ago, is increasing around the world at an alarming rate. Why is this disease still with us? What role has stigma played in preventing elimination of this disease? How can we stop the spread of this devastating disease? Join us to learn the answers to these questions and more!

Speaker: Caroline Cameron, Professor, Biochemistry & Microbiology

Café Scientifique is an initiative from UVic’s Faculty of Science that bridges the research-to-public gap with casual community lectures inspired by the early coffeehouses of 18th century France. These free evening cafés provide an opportunity to learn about exciting new discoveries in modern science and meet experts in the field. Each event begins with a 45 minute talk followed by a moderated question and answer session.
