How to find health and science events in Boston
The Boston Science and Engineering Lectures website includes links to a lot of labs and a lot of talks. Frill-free, constantly updated and — despite a disclaimer — very thorough, the site’s calendar is a reminder of the benefits of living in a college town with three medical schools and some of the world’s most elite hospitals.
A look at the health talks on today’s list offers the following:
