Listen to experts talk about the science in your neighborhood and around the world. You don’t have to be a science geek to have fun—all you need is a thirst for knowledge!</p> <p>Cost: $8 online advance tickets, $10* suggested cover at the door. This is an all-ages event.</p> <p>Event Description:</p> <p>Parasites constitute a global health problem of unimaginable magnitude. Two out of three people worldwide are afflicted with a parasitic disease, and most people who harbor parasites actually are afflicted with a multiplicity of diseases. The organisms that are considered traditional parasites are either protozoa, worms, or insects, although viruses, bacteria, and fungi also meet the classic definition of a parasite.</p> <p>At this Science on Tap, Dr. Buddy Ullman, parasitologist at OHSU, will take a somewhat irreverent tour of the major time-honored parasites and describe where they live, how they reproduce, and what effect they have on humans. Warning: this talk will be both gross and fascinating!</p> <p>(Note: This is a repeat of the talk held in Portland on January 6, 2015.)</p> <p>Event Website</p> <hr> <hr> <p>Science on Tap at the Kiggins is produced in partnership with Washington State University Vancouver.</p> <hr> <p>*A note on the suggested cover at the door: Science on Tap is supported, in part, by money collected at the door. We are committed to offering educational opportunities to adults who want to learn, so if $10 is a hardship for you, please come anyway and donate what you can.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.viaproductions.org/events/kiggins_may13_parasites/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
