This series of discussions will focus on the role of the pharmacist in direct and indirect patient care. From bench side research of discovering new ways old drugs work to bedside and community practice where pharmacists ensure that the right patient gets the right drug at the right time. The goal of these dialogues is to provide the public with information for safe and effective use of medications and other health care products, encourage communication between patients, pharmacists and other health care providers and to provide a medium for drug information and education.

Light, Clocks and Sleep: The Discovery of a New Photoreceptor within the Eye
Until the late 1990’s it seemed inconceivable to most vision biologists that there could be an unrecognised class of light sensor within the eye. After all, the eye was the best understood part of the central nervous system. One hundred and fifty years of research had explained how we see: Light is detected by the rods and cones of the retina and their responses are assembled into an “image” by inner retinal neurones, followed by advanced visual processing in the brain. This representation of the eye left no room for an additional class of ocular photoreceptor. However, work in a variety of animals, including mice and humans, overturned this conventional view of the eye. We now know that the rods and cones are not alone.

Science Cafés involve a face-to-face conversation with a scientist about current science topics. They are open to everyone and take place in casual settings like pubs and coffeehouses. A science café’s casual meeting place, plain language, and inclusive conversation create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere for people with no science background. Each meeting is organized around an interesting topic of conversation. A scientist gives a brief presentation followed by a question and answer period.
