About Reading Abbott

Maude Abbott loved to read. This exhibition explores both what she read and ways we can read her life story. While many publications on the famous doctor have focused on the barriers she faced in a male-dominated profession, this exhibition places Abbott among her favourite authors, texts, and locations. At its heart are Abbott’s five diaries. These precious journals record her daily activities, meetings, travels, meals, health, friends, books, and even her hair appointments.

Hybrid event: Be a partner in your health: how to find & evaluate health information | Prendre sa santé en main : comment trouver et évaluer les informations

Thursday, October 24, 2024 10:00to11:30

La version française suit

We are each in charge of our own health and well-being and having the right information can help us stay healthy and recover when we are not well. The Internet is filled with health information, some trustworthy and evidence-based, and some designed to sell something or to misinform. Each year books are published that make big claims about health topics, some are based on evidence, and some are nothing more than one person’s opinion.

This lecture will provide some tips for how to find and evaluate health information.
