Best seller, CONNECTED's co-author, JAMES FOWLER, PhD is the KEYNOTE
speaker at the 2013 Annual NICE Knowledge Exchange, May 23rd

* Co-author of best seller, CONNECTED: The surprising power of social
networks and how they shape our lives, JAMES FOWLER, PhD is the KEYNOTE
speaker at the 2013 Annual NICE Knowledge Exchange, May 23rd - Hart House,
University of Toronto. * In his keynote, Dr. Fowler will reveal the
dynamics of these social networks and will present compelling evidence on
the profound influence they have on our health, wealth, and even happiness.

In *Connected*, the authors explain why emotions are contagious, how health
behaviours spread, why the rich get richer, even how we find and choose our
partners. Intriguing and entertaining, Connected overturns the notion of
the individual and provides a revolutionary paradigm - that social networks
influence our ideas, emotions, health, relationships, behaviour, politics
and much more. It will change the way we think about every aspect of our
lives.

The 2013 Knowledge Exchange will also feature interactive workshops
including: *Elder Abuse*-Using deception: Fraudulent Offences and
Preventative Approaches with *Dr. Thomas Goergen*; *Depression* with *Dr.
Lesley Wiesenfeld*; *Sexuality & Aging* with *Valerie Barr* and *Environment
