The Rochester Science Cafe organizers would like to welcome you to the Fall 2015 Science Cafe series, as we begin our seventh year of exciting talks, brilliant scientists, and the best audience in Rochester (along with coffee and cookies, of course!).
This September, we are happy to announce a first: TWO CAFES!
On Tuesday, September 22, in our usual fourth Tuesday slot, we will have a talk on the University of Rochester's new $600 million photonics institute. For more on that, you can follow this tinyurl link to the UofR website: http://tinyurl.com/puebuhz.
The next day, on Wednesday, September 23, we will have a special cafe:
"Mercury in fish, mercury in us: how do we deal with it?”
Dr. Matt Rand
Department of Environmental Medicine, University of Rochester
Mercury (Hg), a naturally occurring element that can be found in soil, water and air, is perhaps best known for its infamous role as a toxicant. Methylmercury (MeHg), a naturally-derived organic form of Hg, can occur at elevated levels in some fish species that are consumed by people. Decades of research have explored MeHg’s toxic potential including bio-magnification in large predatory fish, a long half-life in the body and a preference to attack the developing nervous system. Despite these threatening features, studies have reported mixed results on the health effects of MeHg in people who consume large amounts of fish. Some of the key research on this topic has been conducted among people living in the Seychelles islands in the Indian Ocean by researchers here in Rochester. In this talk I will discuss the toxicology behind understanding how the human body deals with MeHg exposure. I will first talk about the fate of MeHg in the body following a fish meal. Next, I will discuss current research efforts aimed at understanding how diet and genetics might influence the toxic potential of MeHg in different individuals.
As always, the talks will be 7:00pm at the Pittsford Plaza Barnes and Noble, upstairs in the Community Room. Our regular fourth Tuesday talks will continue for the rest of the Fall and Spring.
We look forward to seeing everyone there as we kick off another exciting new year of the Rochester Science Cafe!
Do you know how long tonight's talk by Tom Battley will last? I likely cannot make it by 7 and am trying to decide if I will be able to make it at all.

ReplyDeleteSix weeks previously, I had attended my primary care doctor (PCD) with dysuria and was treated for a urinary tract infection, however, symptoms persisted. Several days later I noticed an acute onset of bilateral vulvar blisters. I was clinically diagnosed with genital herpes and commenced taking valacyclovir 500 mg bd for one week as instructed by my PCD. The blisters resolved within five days, however, I developed burning and exquisite sensitivity to touch in both inner thighs and in my left buttock extending down my left leg and including the sole of my left foot and toes. I found that at times, I was unable to walk and sit. So returned to her PCD who told me to continue taking valacyclovir for another week, however, the burning persisted. And I knew this was never going to cure me. I sorted for Natural Herbs And Gos so good i came across doctor razor's Details,I contacted him and we spoke and he assured me everything is going to be permanently fine. Few days after I reached out to him he sent me herbal medicine to take for 18 days. after completing the dosage for 18 days. I started noticing some changes in my Genital Area. so i told the herbalist about it, he asked me to go for a medical test, which i did. Lo and behold, My PCD was surprised to see my result out Negative,. I was overwhelmed with joy, I waited for 2 weeks to make sure the Virus was not laying dormant in my Nerve Cells, So i went for another test After the two months, And it had the same Negative result.
