On June 7, 2019, I had the pleasure of moderating a discussion with science journalist and author Helen Thomson. We discussed her 2018 book Unthinkable: An Extraordinary Journey Through the World’s Strangest Brains before a full house in NIH’s Masur Auditorium. The book was the featured title for the third-annual NIH Big Read. The Big Read, sponsored by the NIH Library and the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences, fosters community in the workplace by asking interested NIH staff to read a book together. The Big Read culminates each year with a public discussion of the book with its author. Credit: NIH
