Life and Death in Extreme Environments
Lecture |
| |
Stories of human achievements and survival against the odds have always been fascinating. We wonder how the body copes, whether living in the world's harshest environments or mounting expeditions to its hottest, coldest, and highest places. This evening, Claude Piantadosi (professor of medicine, Duke University Medical Center) uses case studies to explain the principles of survival and the range of environments that can support human life.
