The Science of Sex(uality)

FY 2013-14

Summary
During the exhibit The Science of Sex(uality) THEMUSEUM would like to present two Café Scientifique forums to examine the health topics in the area of sex and sexuality. The information presented in the forums are helpful to he public, as there are many misconceptions about sex and sexuality that can be cleared up and sharing information and ideas in a relaxed environment is the easiest way to disseminate correct information and share thoughts. Sharing information about sex and sexuality can help prevent sexually transmitted infections and diseases, prevent unwanted pregnancies, help young people deal with a multitude of issues relating to sexuality and growing up, and help people of all ages navigate through a subject that is often taboo. With a great deal of grossly incorrect information available, THEMUSEUM wishes to work with CIHR researchers to make new and truthful information available to the public based on current research.
