SPECIAL AWIS EVENT on June 5th--National Book Award Nominee Allegra Goodman
Allegra Goodman will read from her novel "Intuition" (Just out
in paperback--get your copy now!) researched at the Whitehead Institute
in Cambridge. If you attend one AWIS event this year--make this the one!
This very realistic lab drama is about "an anxious, ambitious,
down-on-his-luck postdoctoral researcher suddenly obtains results that
look too good to be true — the virus he's injected into cancer-riddled
mice appears to be melting away their tumors — and his girlfriend, another
postdoc in the same lab, comes to suspect he's fudged his results. But
she doesn't know for sure: there's no hard evidence, just some sloppy,
discarded lab notes that seem to suggest it." (NYT Book Review)

Time: Light dinner and networking at 6:30 PM, Reading to begin at
7:00 PM
Where: Auditorium in the Novartis Amenities Building between 220
