Our director Dr. Marcas Bamman will deliver the 28th Annual Mary and Butch Slaughter lecture at the Curry School of Education and Human Development, University of Virginia on October 24, 2019. The lecture will focus on effective exercise intervention as a medical strategy. Following the lecture, there will be a discussion focussing on how a targeted approach should be employed when prescribing exercise, which can be more effective than prescription medication and comes with fewer side effects.

All are welcome!
