| How can plants become powerful poisons and life-saving medicines? What can a plant-derived molecule tell us about the history of medicine–and even the American Revolutionary War? Join Dr. Steve Fleming for a fun discussion exploring the chemistry of plant-derived pharmaceuticals. We will investigate molecules like colchicine, atropine, and scopolamine, discuss their structures and medical applications, and explore the surprising history of their use. We hope to see you there! 📅 Thursday, October 1 ⏰ 3 – 4pm 📍 Huddle Large Classroom – Tuttleman 201D We’ll have pizza for lunch! All Temple students are welcome to attend, so please feel free to share with students who may be interested. |
