Join Jay Ingram for a lively look at the cultural and scientific mysteries of misfolded proteins, called prions. They cause bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and chronic wasting disease, are perplexing and elusive, and impact our lives, food supply and economy.
Dr. Neil Cashman, Scientific Director of PrioNet Canada and renowned prion expert, will be present at the question and answer period following the presentation.
One of Canada's best-known science popularizers, Jay Ingram is co-host and producer of Daily Planet, television's first daily science show. He has written nine popular books on science.
