Cutting Edge Science program : "Health Options in 2020"
The adage 'as long as I have my health' is often bandied around. But how will we gain and maintain our health in the year 2020? Join four leading researchers for an evening forum at the Science Centre, as they explore the future of medicine, food and nanobionics. Moderated by Tony Arthur of ABC Radio, learn about 'functional foods' from Professor Linda Tapsell; the wonders of nanobionics and intelligent polymers from Professor Gordon Wallace; and the intricacies of the medical world from Professor Wilf Yeo and Associate Professor Ulrich Bommer. Afterwards, there will be ample opportunity for discussion with these experts. Supported by the IMB Community Foundation.

Time: 7pm
Venue: Illawarra Coal Science Theatre, Science Centre & Planetarium
