This will be a 4-session Zoom discussion of the book: Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande. You will need to obtain and read the book on your own. The class will cover two to three chapters of the book each week. In order to facilitate good discussion, specific discussion questions will be assigned in advance for each week. We encourage you to take part in all four sessions, do “homework” between sessions, and share your thoughts, concerns, and personal plans for the end of life with other participants.

One in ten U.S. adults has a food allergy, and about half of these cases do not show up until adulthood. The prevalence of food allergies and intolerances in American society has seen an uptick in recent years, and while we may not all have one; most of us know someone who has uncomfortable reactions to a specific food. This course will provide insight on the difference between allergies and intolerances, how food allergies are diagnosed, and resources for safe, allergen-free recipes, advice, and more!
