Research Tuesdays
Research Tuesdays
A public lecture series from The University of Adelaide
From tackling Meningococcal B to finding energy solutions for the future, our discoveries make a difference to people's lives across the world.
At Research Tuesdays we share this knowledge, every month. If you're curious about the changing world, we invite you to join us.
Men are dying younger—and from preventable causes more—than women.
And no, it’s not because men ignore their symptoms; University of Adelaide researchers have debunked that myth. They’ve found that common issues—like a lack of gender-specific approaches during medical consultations, misattributing chronic disease symptoms to normal male ageing, and stigma around issues like erectile dysfunction—are preventing optimal care.
Join us in November to learn how researchers are developing tools to better men's outcomes.
