The group was formed in 2020 as part of the ACS diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Several members have met 21 times over the last five years reading books nominated but the members. On behalf of the loyal members of the group, Despina Strong extends an invitation to all. You don’t have to read the book to join in the discussion. You just need to RSVP to strongdespina@gmail.com to get the link. Our next book is a powerful autobiography of Katalyn Kariko, 2023 Nobel Laureate, Breaking Through: My Life in Science. From a one room house in Hungry to the highest honor in science, Kariko describes the highs and lows of her education and life journey as a young girl in a communist country to a female immigrant scientist in the USA. Whether you join the discussion at 7pm on September 9 or not, we highly encourage you to pick up this book from the library or bookseller.
