SPECIAL AWIS EVENT on June 5th--National Book Award Nominee Allegra Goodman--REGISTER TODAY or Pay at the door

This is our last event for this academic year--it is a good time to be introduced to AWIS! Bring a friend!

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)
Date: Tuesday, June 5th
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 and 250 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge
REGISTER TODAY or register at the door!!! Members $5.00 Non-Members $15.00

Allegra Goodman's books will be on sale at the event compliments of Newtonville Books--

Directions: The Novartis Amenities Building is between 220 and 250 Massachusetts Ave. (CLICK HERE FOR MAP)
Please enter via a gate between the 220 and 250 Massachusetts Avenue buildings. Walk through the courtyard to the building directly behind 220 Massachusetts Avenue. The Auditorium is to the left once you enter the building.
MBTA: Take the Red Line to Central Square and walk towards the Charles (West) about 4 city blocks. (You cross 4-5 streets, but the distances between streets is larger than typical blocks.) As you are walking past the fire station, look up at buildings down Mass Ave. and you will see "Novartis" on the side of a brick building- that is 250 Mass Ave. You can also walk from the Kendall T stop, but it is a bit further.
Parking: There is metered parking on the street, parking in front of 220 Massachusetts Ave and a parking garage at 55 Franklin Street that has an hourly rate. Be careful not to park in a spot for "residents only" if you do not have a Cambridge sticker. They will give you a ticket!
