What happens when a biologist, physician, neuroscientist and sex researcher join together to answer questions you may have never felt comfortable asking your own doctor? Join us to find out in the new game-show like panel as we incite audience participation, ask hard, silly or downright strange questions and hear top experts in their respective fields discuss topics that feel taboo even in the privacy of the doctor’s office. We’ll have real discussions that are as educational as they are entertaining. Bring your own questions. Healthcare is expensive. Come get your dose.
This event is for members and guests.
