SitP: Dr Alessio Fasano and Gluten Freedom

Alessio Fasano, M.D., director of the Center for Celiac Research and Treatment at MassGeneral Hospital for Children (MGHfC).

If you have wondered what's up with the gluten drama, come and listen. Have a cider (gluten-free). We sit in the back room with the stage area. Come a bit early if you want to order food (I usually get there around 6:30ish) and be ready for the presentation at 7ish. People hang around and chat usually afterwards too.

PS: The Burren has been great about hosting science topics. This group and the Science By the Pint folks have been having terrific presentations there. http://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/science-by-the-pint/
