| Description: | Drawing on archives and illustrative materials from the Wellcome Library’s collections, this event will explore the work of the medics and scientists who helped shape and publicise nutritional knowledge in the 20th century.
From the ‘Bran Gang’ and debates over the evils of highly refined foods, to the growth of the modern ‘nutrition media’ in all its complexity, trace the roots of our current anxieties over what is and isn’t good to eat.
This event includes time for you to view documents and archives from the Wellcome Library’s special collections.
