High on study drugs

BètaBreak edition September 2019

The use of “study drugs” is one the rise, with about a quarter of students having used stimulants as Ritalin to stay focused. Why is this becoming so common? Should we be worried, and are there any good alternatives? These questions will be discussed with the audience, faculty members and a supplement company to be announced. Bring your lunch and join us on September 18th at 12:00 in the Central Hall at Science Park for this school year’s first monthly BètaBreak!
