Harvard Museums of Science and Culture will host a free public lecture — When Evolutions Hurts — on March 2, 6PM-7PM. It will take place both in-person (Geological Lecture Hall, 24 Oxford Street, Cambridge) and online. In either case, registration is required. Harvard Professor Terence D. Capellini will discuss genetic research that is helping scientists better understand the relationship between bipedalism and our risk of developing knee osteoarthritis—a degenerative disease that afflicts at least 250 million people worldwide. By understanding the evolutionary history and genetics of this condition, preventive screenings and potential treatments may be developed.
