SUMMARY:Glasgow Skeptics visit Cafe Scientifique: Perceptions of Cancer
DESCRIPTION:So we don’t have an official Glasgow Skeptics event on this date … but our friends over in Cafe Scientifique have got something to tickle your fancy instead. \nThe topic this month: Perceptions of Cancer \n\nView on Facebook\nView on Meetup\n\nDr Sara Macdonald is a primary care based medical sociologist in the Institute of Health & Wellbeing at the University of Glasgow. Sara’s research focuses on the public understanding of cancer and cancer risk and considers sources of information that help us make decisions about health and lifestyles. Recently\, Sara has been exploring representation of cancer in the media and questions how this influences our understanding and experience of cancer. In this talk – How the media frames cancer narratives\, Sara will discuss the ways in which the media reports cancer risk and how personal cancer narratives and stories may shape our views. While we know that the media are an important source of information\, Sara questions whether media organisations and journalists are aware of the influence and impact cancer stories have. \n\nFor more information about Café Scientifique:Visit their website: http://www.gla.ac.uk/events/cafescientifique/ \n\nThe talk is free – although they do ask for donationsAccessibility: The talk is on the top floor of the store. There is a lift available for those unable to use the stairs. \n
