LJMU Faculty of Health Public Lecture Series
Professor David Nutt
Why current drugs policies do more harm than good.
Wednesday 18th March 2024 @ 16:30
Drug policies in the UK are largely based on the false premise that prohibition works. This talk will explain how they have developed piecemeal over the past century driven by political expediency, moralistic pressures particularly from the USA and media demands.
In the inaugural session of LJMU’s Faculty of Health Lecture series, Professor David Nutt (Imperial College London) will demonstrate how in most cases prohibition has led to greater harms to users and greater costs to society and argue for a radical overhaul by the next government.

Where: The Walton Centre – Sid Watkins Lecture Theatre & MS Teams.
When: 13th December 2023, 15:45 -16:45.
These meetings are a fantastic opportunity for those interested in epilepsy and epilepsy-related research in Liverpool (and nearby) to meet and discuss ideas, present their work and seek feedback, and learn new research techniques from colleagues and external speakers. It is also a nice opportunity to network and form collaborative and/or supervisory links. Clinicians, non-clinicians, adults, paediatrics, nurses, basic scientists, imaging scientists, statisticians, health data scientists, clinical researchers and clinicians not doing any research, students, and beyond, are all equally welcome and encouraged to attend, at any level. Please also feel free to invite colleagues you think would be interested in attending. We are also welcoming any Public Advisors with an interest in learning about epilepsy research.

Unsure how to progress and secure your dream job in academia? LNG:ECRs have invited three researchers at different points in their academic journeys to talk through their experiences – we’ll be hearing from post-docs and fellows on how they secured their positions and from a professor on what he looks for when hiring for these positions.
The event will be held in person at LJMU Byrom Street, in GERI 1.02
The target audience is junior PIs, postdocs and PhD students from Neuroscience community who are interested in learning more about a future in academia with real experiences from different career stages. It is a great networking opportunity, so we are looking forward to seeing you all in person.

About Dr. David Carey
Reader in Psychology, Bangor University
David Carey studies sensorimotor control processes in healthy volunteers and neurological patients. Current projects include recording and quantifying manual asymmetries in left-handers and right-handers and quantification of attentional biases towards the preferred hand, which may prove a useful marker for cerebral asymmetries for speech and language.
Dr. Carey is an enthusiastic and engaging lecturer, and he’s kindly accepted our invite (and challenge!) to present on presenting effectively [as a neuroscientist].
LNG:ECR is the multi-disciplinary special interest group of young researchers (students, postdocs, PIs) from across the city, with research spanning many diverse areas in neuroscience.
The target audience is new PIs, postdocs and PhD students from the Neuroscience research community, but all are welcome. It will be a great networking opportunity, so we are looking forward to seeing you all in person.
