Does Sex Matter?

McMaster psychologists Mel Rutherford and Sigal Balshine will ponder the evolution of sexuality, and muse about why we aren't all hermaphrodites at McMaster University's inaugural meeting of MACafi Scientifique. The Cafi Scientifique approach complements more traditional lecture series, such as Science in the City, providing a forum for discussion that gives non-academics a chance to weigh in on science-related topics. MACafi Scientifique will premiere at The Bean Bar in Westdale, on Wednesday, March 16.
