An Evening with Rebecca Skloot
Tuesday, September 29
Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University

Opening Reception | 4:30 PM
Lecture and Panel Discussion | 5 PM
Knafel Center, 10 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA

Rebecca Skloot is author of the award-winning book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Part detective story, part scientific odyssey, and part family saga, the story’s multilayered approach raises questions about race, class, and bioethics in America. At this event, Skloot will speak about the book and her path to writing it. She is currently working on her next book, which will be about humans, animals, science, and ethics.

Paula A. Johnson, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and the executive director of the Connors Center for Women’s Health and Gender Biology, will provide introductory remarks and moderate a panel discussion, following the lecture, about the intersection of biomedical science, research ethics, poverty, and race.
