Science is a force for good in the world. But sometimes in history, obsession has pushed a noble pursuit into something sinister. . .

You are cordially invited to an evening with bestselling science journalist Sam Kean on Wednesday, Nov. 3, at 6 p.m. in the Pugh Hall Ocora. With his trademark wit and precision, Kean shares tales from his new book The Icepick Surgeon, revealing rogue science and its consequences, from Tuskegee to Nazi Germany to current vaccine hesitancy.

Kean’s program will be followed by a book sale and signing. All appropriate COVID protocols will be observed. An optional livestream link is available.
