Dr Norman Swan: The Brain Cliff
In conversation with Liz Minchin
4:30–5:30pm, Thursday 8 October, Parkside Marquee
Physician and journalist Dr Norman Swan has long been a voice of scientific reason in an increasingly bewildering information landscape. These days, our brains are likely to feel more broken than ever – so thank goodness Dr Swan is here with his accessible and informative new book, which tells us all we need to know about the health and ageing process of our most important organ.
