Who’s ready to be scared? For this episode of Pharmacy Fusion, we're venturing into the eerie and enigmatic realms of fear, a topic that touches on both the psychological and pharmaceutical aspects of our lives.

Fear is an emotion that transcends boundaries, and it's something we've all experienced in one form or another. To guide us through this exploration, we have three exceptional guests with us.

  • Dr. Robert Furilla, a physiologist from the WWAMI School of Medical Education, will be shedding light on the physiology of fear—how our bodies react when confronted with the unknown.
  • Dr. Eric Silk, a clinical psychologist, will help us navigate the psychological intricacies of fear, including why some individuals find pleasure in fear-inducing experiences.
  • Dr. Lucy Wilkening, a Doctor of Pharmacy and Psychiatric Pharmacist, who will provide invaluable insights into the world of medications, discussing which drugs may cause fear, paranoia, or anxiety, and which medications can help treat conditions associated with fear and anxiety.

Pharmacy Fusion is a dynamic broadcast covering a broad array of topics related to the L. S. Skaggs College of Pharmacy. Listen on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm to hear how students, faculty, alumni and supporters are forging new pathways for advancing pharmacy practice laws in Idaho, engaging in cutting edge research on new and emerging drug treatments, innovative drug delivery methods, telepharmacy and psychopharmacology advancements, and more. Guests from a variety of backgrounds, including not just pharmacy but pharmaceutical sciences and clinical psychopharmacology will join host Tom Wadsworth, interim dean for the College of Pharmacy, for discussions spanning far beyond the pharmacy counter.
