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.
