Our internationally renowned experts are ready to answer any questions you might have!

Our free Q&A sessions have been created especially for the non-scientific public who simply want reliable, accurate information. This is a great way for the public to cut through the chatter, ask their burning question, and receive a scientific, evidence-based answer in plain language.
