Missed the first run of ‘The Perils of Being Born in the Fall’ at the 2024 Hamilton Fringe Festival? Fear not, there is a repeat performance as part of the McMaster Institute for Research on Aging’s “Sage Conversations” series (and there’s free popcorn, drinks & parking – what’s not to love!)

What’s the show about? Well if you are born in September, Dr. Dawn Bowdish has got bad news for you.
Tour through the wackiness of early 19th century psychiatry, stealth mid-century reproductive rights activism and the climate/pregnancy connection; in the end you’ll learn why cold & flu season has an outsize impact on mental health.
You might laugh, but you’ll definitely learn.
