Join us on March 10th, as Dr. Amber Craig presents: Beyond the Binary: A Dive into the Psychology of Gender

Greetings all!! Gender has been quite the hot topic lately across the media, politics, and many other facets of our lives. Has it gotten you wanting to understand more all about it? Well, you're in luck!! For our March talk we welcome MCW's Dr. Amber Craig to come answer questions such as "How does gender identity develop?""What has gender looked like across cultures and history?" and "What does "gender affirming care" even mean, and what does psychology have to do with it?" We'll be covering the answers to these questions and more as she discusses how psychologists and other medical providers support the health of LGBTQ+ patients. Curious minds and kind hearts are encouraged!

Dr. Amber Craig is a clinical health psychologist and assistant professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Much of her clinical work, research, and teaching has revolved around health disparities and sexual wellness.

Join us on February 10th, as Dr. Jessica Lelinski presents: Forensic Pathology: this isn't C.S.I.

Greetings all!! Has this cold weather got you feeling like you've come down with a case of rigor mortis? Well, gather a group of equally frozen buddies and all come on down to the Sugar Maple on February 10th to grab a drink, warm up, and listen as Dr. Jessica Lelinski will discuss the basics of the Medical Examiner/Coroner (ME/C) system in Wisconsin, which deaths are investigated by the ME/C offices, and what autopsies can and cannot tell us - it's not as glamorous as what they show on TV but still pretty cool!!

Jessica Lelinski is a forensic pathologist who has worked as an Assistant Medical Examiner at the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office since 2015. She has spent her entire life in the city and suburbs of Milwaukee, apart from one year in Minneapolis during her final year of training. She went to medical school with plans to become a pediatrician, but along the way found that autopsies aren't as scary as they first seemed and that figuring out why people died can be fascinating.
