Description:	Demystifying Medicine is an annual course from January to May designed to help bridge the gap between advances in biology and their application to major human diseases. The course includes presentation of patients, pathology, diagnosis, and therapy in the context of major disease problems and current research, primarily directed toward Ph.D. students, fellows, and staff. All are invited. Kandel's lecture title is based on his most recent book of the same name which explores the interaction of artists, writers, physicians, and scientists in the salons of turn-of-the-century Vienna that gave birth to a new way of thinking about the mind. The book won the Bruno-Kreisky Award in Literature, Austria's highest literary award. Kandel trained at the NIH in neurobiology in the late 1950s as well as in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He joined the faculty of the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University in 1974 as the founding director of the Center for Neurobiology and Behavior. In addition, Kandel organized the neuroscience curriculum at Columbia University. For more information go to https://demystifyingmedicine.od.nih.gov
