Dear All
On Wednesday 19 Feb, Nobel Laureate, Kary Mullis, will be taking part in the
third and last of our Royal Society/ICA drugs discussions:
Narco-odysseys
Wednesday 19 February at 7pm
The Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AG
Tickets are FREE and can be obtained by contacting the Events Desk - tel:

Hard drugs are here to stay. But what can science do to ensure that
therapies and treatments are able to keep pace with the proliferation of
damaging substances? And is it credible to envisage recreational, cerebrally
stimulating, and mood stabilizing drugs which are unaccompanied by ill
effects on the brain? Are chemists going to come to rule consciousness?
Discussing these issues will be Nobel Laureate for Chemistry Kary Mullis,
Californian scientist and author of Dancing Naked in the Mind Field, a
controversial work which covers everything from cloning to turning on a
light bulb with one's mind. Mullis will be speaking to University College
Dublin pharmacologist Ciaran Regan, author of Intoxicating Minds; Les
Iversen, Professor of Pharmacology at King's College London and author of
Drugs: A Very Short Introduction, and Daniel Glaser, the ICA's first
Scientist-in-Residence.
Hope you can make it.
With best wishes
