The first in our series exploring the Seven Deadly Sins, Dr Nichola Rumsey and Dr Jeremy Tinkler will discuss envy.
Is how we look who we are? Psychologist Dr Nichola Rumsey, Research Director at The Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), University of the West of England, will discuss what drives so many people to have dramatic plastic surgery, and the psychological implications of disfigurement. She will be joined by Jeremy Tinkler from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MRHA), a toxicologist who investigates the safety of breast implants in the UK. As MHRA’s Principle Specialist in Biosciences and Implants, he was immersed in the controversy over silicone gel breast implants during the 1990s and then investigated the safety of other types of breast implant, some of which were withdrawn from the market or explanted from women. He will describe the risks, both real and imagined, that emerged and explore the factors that turned pride into outrage.
