About the Event:
Real Life by Brandon Taylor (National Book Foundation's 2023 Science + Literature Selected Title) asks what it means for a queer Black man to pursue a career in academia and science. Join Taylor and award-winning author Weike Wang for a conversation presented in partnership with the National Book Foundation about the real science within Real Life, and the possibilities for better representation—both in science and in fiction.
The event is presented in partnership with the National Book Foundation.
A book signing will follow this program.
