After authoring seven best-selling works of nonfiction based around the sciences, it’s safe to say Mary Roach knows a thing or two. Her books have appeared on the New York Times bestseller list, have been lauded by Barnes & Noble and Entertainment Weekly, and in 2012, she received the Harvard Secular Society’s Rushdie Award for a lifetime achievement in cultural humanism. Now, this Bay Area resident has published her 10th book, Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy, where she dives in the “uncharted waters” of regenerative medicine and the difficult questions we face when prompted by our body’s failings. She will be joined by Bay Area journalist Angie Coiro in an exclusive night of science and humor.
