Dinner@Dana: Size Matters

The obesity crisis is reaching epidemic proportions. We can blame it on lack of willpower, but what if you still feel hungry after you’ve met your nutritional requirements? Find out what controls our appetite in this evening of Dinner@Dana.

Steven Bloom, clinician, research scientist and international expert in the field of obesity, talks fasting, gastric bypasses and hormones, and about the search for causes and treatments for this modern-day malady.

Dinner@Dana is part of the Café Scientifique network. These Cafés provide a place for everyone to explore the latest ideas in science, technology and medicine. Meetings stay outside the traditional academic context by creating a relaxed and informal atmosphere to discuss the biggest issues. The night involves a talk and a question-and-answer session, interspersed with a two-course dinner (available to purchase in the d.café).
