Science On Tap showing a glass of beer with circles around it

Science on Tap, co-sponsored by GVSU and SpeakEZ Lounge, is an opportunity for conversation, debate and interaction between scientists and the public while drinking beer. Each month at SpeakEZ, a knowledgeable expert hosts a scientific discussion about current topics in the news such as ebola and the paleo diet. This is a great chance to exercise your academic interests in a casual setting while enjoying great food and adult beverages.

Below is the information for October's Science On Tap:

Speaker: Doug Graham, Dept. of Biomedical Sciences, Grand Valley State University

Event Description:

In contrast to the ‘big three’ global infectious diseases (HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis), neglected tropical diseases are a diverse group of infections common in low-income populations. This talk will be a primer on some of these: their biology; the factors shaping their distribution and persistence; and what the international public health community is doing to alleviate their impact.
