Thematik

What's your poison, then? We look at what people think is true and what isn't, and why. The course gives you a good understanding of the science of toxicology. It looks at the most common types of poisoning and how to treat them, using everyday examples to show the professional challenges. We'll also take a look at the dangerous world of "miracle cures" and help prepare for related questions. We invite students to get involved in a critical, real-life discussion that can broaden their horizons in the fascinating world of toxicology.
