View the NIH exhibit of "Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature" on display starting January 28, then join in a discussion of Mary Shelley's famous novel.
Science specialist Arielle Strzelewicz will present information and data about the science of 1818 (the year Frankenstein was published) and what science is capable of today. What are the ethics of creating a "monster" and the implications for the future?
This interactive discussion does not require attendees to have read the book, but feel free! We have it available at the library.
