Over 3 weeks in September we’ll discuss what the immune system is, what can go wrong (deficiency, infection, cancer, autoimmune disease), how vaccines work and how new treatments, especially for cancer, are using our own immune systems (immunotherapies). Historical, literary and other societal contexts will also be considered and we’ll look at what we can each do to keep our immune system in its best condition, debunking myths and conspiracy theories.
Content will be tailored to the level of participants’ biological knowledge, or none. The cost will be at least £5 in total for the three sessions, depending on the numbers interested.
