[Editors] Event on Thursday

[Melissa Lawrence Withers]

Dear Editors,

Whitehead Institute recently launched a new author's series in 
collaboration with Borders Books at the Cambridgeside Galleria.  The 
next reading is scheduled for this Thurday, November 20.  The event is 
free.  See below for details.


      Science in Process:
      Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research Fall Authors Series

Most of us have the idea that science moves in a neat, orderly fashion 
from hypothesis and data to the eureka moments that we read about in the 
daily news. But as many science insiders know, the real process of 
discovery is much different. Join us this fall for a three-part science 
writing series and explore the many ways that the process of science 
shapes discovery. Participating authors will read from their most recent 
work and share their insights into how research is conducted and reported.

Thursday, November 13
Joann Rodgers, author of Sex: A Natural History

Thursday, November 20
Sheldon Krimsky, author of Science in the Private Interest: Has the Lure 
of Profits Corrupted Biomedical Research?

Monday, December 8
Deborah Blum, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Love at Goon Park: Harry 
Harlow and the Science of Affection

All lectures take place at 7:00 p.m., at Borders Books, at the 
Cambridgeside Galleria, Cambridge.

The readings are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
