83. Dr Saira Hameed: Signals
Hormones animate every aspect of our lives, controlling our milestone moments as well as our day-to-day emotions. Join leading endocrinologist Dr Saira Hameed as she shares extraordinary stories from her clinic; from experiences of spirit-sapping exhaustion to agonising infertility, absent libido to frenzied disorientation, and emaciation to obesity. Her new book Signals combines compassionately told patient histories with tales of pioneering medical breakthroughs and addresses misconceptions about the miraculous signalling system that makes us who we are.
This event will be chaired by Marcia Nattress.
Marcia is an experienced broadcast journalist and communications professional. She has 14 years’ experience working as a producer and reporter for BBC News in London, specialising in business and current affairs stories.
This event is part of our Body Matters strand.
