The first entry in this semester's Rhetoric Parlor Series will be this Friday at 4:15 in Magrath Library Room 8. Cristina Hanganu-Bresch will present from her dissertation in progress on the way pharmaceuticals are promoted to physicians. The official title of the talk is "The Visual Semiotic of Depression: Two decadesof antidepressant advertising in the American Journal of Psychiatry."
Here's a quick primer on semiotics. Hope to see you there.

A recent update on this lecture I received by email today:
"This talk is being sponsored by Eli Lilly, the creators of Prozac, and
Janssen Pharmaceutica, the creators of Risperdal, who have generously
provided door prizes for this event."

Whow, me, too. It even seemed altogether plausible once we found out the speaker is married to a psychiatrist. Stinkin' Walzer. lol. First giving me an assignment on the first day, now this.
