Join us for Kulturfolger's ninth session of Thema Talks with Sandra Lang.

 

ABOUT: 

Chirality a scientific narrative:

This talk will explore the topic of medical knowledge which is in the orchestra of sciences. Medical science is inferior and dedicated to the the ill, the sick, the degenerate, and the pathetic. Medicine is deviant and is it not the norm. The unspoken and implicit hierarchy infects the discipline and reflects the fossilized pre-ideas remaining from the paradigm of the unity of science.
