“Brain Fuel”
Our brain is a complex machine and, like any other machine, it
needs fuel. What feeds the human brain is knowledge and the more we
can squeeze in, the better the machine works. In this presentation
we will do some squeezing. We'll range far and wide, from insects
to rockets, from dyes to drugs, from plastics to magic. Join us to
be informed, entertained and have your brain fueled. We guarantee
you’ll be smarter when it’s over!
Dr. Joe Schwarcz is Director of McGill University’s Office for

for the public, the media and students. He is a professor in
McGill’s Department of Chemistry and teaches nutrition and
alternative medicine in the Faculty of Medicine. He has received
numerous awards, including the Royal Society of Canada’s McNeil
Award, given for promoting and communicating about science, and he
is the only non-American to win the American Chemical Society’s
prestigious Grady-Stack Award for Interpreting Chemistry for the
Public. He is a familiar face on Canadian television and is known
as "Dr. Joe" to legions of loyal radio listeners on CJAD in
Montreal and CFRB in Toronto. He is also the author of half a dozen
