More than 100 people will attend a lecture taking place tomorrow night (Thursday, September 14) which is being delivered by one of Australia’s favourite broadcasters at the University of Aberdeen.
Multi-award winning investigative reporter Dr Norman Swan, who is also a medical graduate of the University, is giving a talk about scientific fraud.
University staff and members of the public will attend the lecture at the Institute of Medical Sciences. Some of Dr Swan’s friends from his student days will also attend as his talk coincides with his return to Aberdeen for a reunion of medical graduates who were the class of ’76.
Dr Swan began his career as a paediatrician at the main children’s hospital in Sydney before switching to journalism. His radio and TV career with ABC brings him into the homes of millions of Australians each week.
Scientific Fraud Exposed begins at 6.30pm - to book a place at the lecture please call Claire Slinn on 01224 272097 or email c.slinn@abdn.ac.uk. This is a free event but donations will be taken on the night for the Matthew Hay project.
The Matthew Hay project is a £16.5million development to create a state-of-the-art medical teaching and learning centre for Foresterhill. The University and NHS Grampian have committed £12million towards the project and a further £4.5million is to be sought through fund-raising to ensure the centre is a truly outstanding facility.
