Location: Exact address given in confirmation email ? Lecture: "Snake Oil, Drugs, & More: A History of Medical Marketing" ? Speaker: Patrick Kelly Join us for a fascinating evening as Patrick Kelly uncovers how America became one of only two countries in the world that allows direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising. Tracing the surprisingly contentious history of medical marketing—from colonial apothecary ads and notorious snake oil grifters, to the era when pharma stopped talking to patients and focused solely on wooing doctors—Patrick will reveal how we ultimately arrived at drug ads on TV, Instagram, and everywhere in between. Along the way, we’ll explore a central, recurring question: how much should patients actually know about their medicines and their health? Patrick Kelly is a teacher and science writer best known for his educational YouTube channel on the history of medicine. With 150,000 subscribers and over 10 million views, his long-form video essays on pharmaceuticals and how humans survived different diseases have made complex medical history accessible to a wide audience.
