In 1900 the average life-expectancy in the US was 45, and 45% of the population farmed. By 2000, 2% of the population farmed and life expectancy had increased by 35 years. This webinar covers the history of how superstition was eventually dispelled by science which led to unprecedented advances in public health. Unfortunately, the current pandemic has given rise to doubt about the scientific method, and superstitious beliefs have re-emerged, threatening the very advances that brought us health, comfort, and prosperity.

There will be an opportunity for Q&A engagement with the speaker and special guest panelists.

Additional Panelists

Scott Hamilton Kennedy, Academy Award Nominated Documentary Filmmaker
Dr. Drew Pinsky, American Media Personality and Addiction Medicine Specialist
Dr. Channa S. Prakash, Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences at Tuskegee University

Dr. Lockwood has lectured extensively, both nationally and internationally, on a wide array of topics in medical toxicology and global health.
