Myth Busting With Tim<\/htitle>
\nFeaturing Tim Caulfield<\/hfeat>
\nHealth & Science Policy Professor, Author
\nJuly 31, 2015
\nEdmonton, Alberta, Canada<\/hbod><\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\nTim is a Canada Research Chair<\/a> in Health Law and Policy and a Professor in the Faculty of Law and the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta<\/a>. He has been the Research Director of the Health Law Institute<\/a> at the University of Alberta since 1993 and is a Fellow of the Trudeau Foundation<\/a>, the Royal Society of Canada<\/a> and the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences<\/a>. He writes frequently for the popular press on a range of health and science policy issues and his most recent book is entitled Is Gwyneth Paltrow Wrong About Everything?: When Celebrity Culture and Science Clash<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Tim loves myth busting and will do almost anything (other than get a colonic<\/a>) to explore the science behind our beliefs. <\/p>\n

Tim spent many years playing in punk and New Wave<\/a> bands. But despite decades of practice and performing, he is a terrible (terrible<\/em>) guitar player — thus providing living proof that 10,000 hours of practice<\/a> won\u2019t transform everyone into an expert.<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
He enjoys coffee, chocolate and good beer, though not necessarily in that order.<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
One of his “many frailties” is motion sickness. Because he travels almost constantly, this weakness has provided him with the opportunity to puke in dozens of different countries. Nice<\/em>.<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
Because of his constant myth busting, his eldest son calls him \u201cThe Dream Crusher<\/em>\u201d.<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t
He wore green for the shoot as a sign of solidarity with the car. Top that, Gwyneth!<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n
