SUMMARY:Brownstone Midwest Supper Club April 14 with Dr. Steven Templeton
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILWe are pleased to announce the next meeting of the Brownstone Midwest Supper Club on April 14\, 2025\, featuring Dr. Steven Templeton\, author of “Fear of a Microbial Planet: How a Germophobic Safety Culture Makes Us Less Safe.” \nAbout Dr. Templeton: \nDr. Templeton is an Associate Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Indiana University School of Medicine – Terre Haute. His research focuses on immune responses to opportunistic fungal pathogens. He has also served on Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Public Health Integrity Committee and was a co-author of “Questions for a COVID-19 commission\,” a document provided to members of a pandemic response-focused congressional committee. \nAbout the talk: \nIn his talk\, Dr. Templeton will examine how the Covid-19 response exemplified our culture’s excessive fear of microbes\, resulting in counterproductive policies that may have caused more harm than good. He will discuss how the pandemic amplified existing germophobic tendencies in society\, leading to interventions that disrupted the natural relationship between our immune systems and the microbial world. Dr. Templeton will offer insights into how we can develop more balanced and effective approaches to public health challenges without the devastating social\, economic\, and psychological costs of germaphobia-driven overreach. \nJoin us for an evening of stimulating conversation\, delicious food\, and community connection as we explore these vital ideas together. \nVenue & Details\nLennie’s is a beloved Bloomington institution known for its warm atmosphere\, exceptional cuisine\, and craft beer selection. For over 30 years\, Lennie’s has been bringing people together over delicious food and drink in a setting perfect for meaningful conversation. \nLocation & Parking\nLennie’s is located at 514 E.

SUMMARY:Brownstone Supper Club\, April 23\, 2025: Laura Delano
DESCRIPTION:SHARE | PRINT | EMAILThe famed supper club at a fabulous venue (the real Chinese stuff) with friends of the Brownstone Institute\, featuring Laura Delano\, whose bestselling book is Unshrunk: A Story of Psychiatric Treatment Resistance. \nCome early for cocktails and meet Brownstone Institute friends\, scholars\, writers\, and benefactors\, and celebrate victories and discuss challenges ahead. The food is wonderful and the discussion brilliant. Casual and fun\, even if some people come in fancier clothing. \nThis month we are excited to host Laura\, whose books and many media appearances have fired up a much-needed debate about psychiatric drugs and the claims surrounding them. Her intensely biographical story is a real-life example of what research is showing: these drugs themselves can become worse than the problem they are supposed to solve. \nHer book has been reviewed sometimes favorably and sometimes savagely. Regardless\, it is suddenly at the center of an issue that afflicts one in four adults and many teens.
