Science & Society Symposium

Wednesday April 11, 2012

An exciting free event for the USF community designed to inspire a broad audience to want to understand science in a social context, and to foster an appreciation of how science and society enable one another.

Our approach is to emulate the widely popular, accessible, and effective TED talks – brief (15-minute) creativelycommunicated, exciting, jargon-free talks crafted toward a bright, diverse, and nontechnical audience.

These talks will be given by a series of local experts from diverse backgrounds who can present their fields in a new light, and in a creative, exciting, and effective manner. After the event, a reception will be held in the Palm Ballroom to foster discussion regarding the innovating and exciting ideas presented during the talks.

During the reception, artwork that reinforces the theme of science and society will be on display. In addition, co-sponsors are welcomed to set up tables at this time.

National Primary Care Week (NPCW) is an annual event to highlight the importance of primary care and bring health care professionals together to discuss and learn about generalist and interdisciplinary health care, particularly its impact on and importance to under-served populations. NPCW aims to focus the attention of health professional students from all disciplines on the failure of the healthcare system to provide equal, high quality health care to all individuals, regardless of ethnicity, race and other factors, and to provide students with the tools to address these inequalities.
