President & CEO of the Linda Hall Library & Arboretum. I write about science, history, books, leadership, and the odd cultural obsession. Institution-builder by day, essayist by night. Civil discourse encouraged.
Last night we hosted the wonderful Dava Sobel talking about her new biography of Marie Curie and the women who worked in the Curie lab over the years www.lindahall.org/about/
