Purcell Room
Elizabeth Pisani with Polly Clayden, Corinne Squire and Ben Goldacre
Wednesday 14 May 2008, 7.45pm
In The Wisdom of Whores, Elizabeth Pisani argues that politics, ideology and money have bulldozed through scientific evidence and common sense in the ‘AIDS industry’.
She is joined by Polly Clayden, co-director of HIV i-base and pioneer of treatment literacy writing, and Corinne Squire, psychologist and author of HIV in South Africa. Together the panel discusses HIV/AIDS and the consequences of wider scientific illiteracy within the media and public at large.
The event is chaired by Ben Goldacre, renowned author of the Bad Science column in the Guardian.
