Announcements, Announcements cont.: I'm hosting four great science writers at Yale on 11/5

Next month, the National Association of Science Writers is descending on New Haven for their annual meeting. I didn't want this talent pool to flow into and out of the Elm City without sharing some of it with the community. So I've organized a public reading with four authors--two coming to town for NASW, and two area residents. All four writers have excellent new science books, and--remarkably--they are not unique in that regard. This year has been a fantastic one for science books, and I could have easily scheduled half a dozen more events with quartets of equally gifted writers. The readings will take place at the magnificent Beinecke Rare Book Library, where you can check out the Gutenberg Bible and Audubon double elephant folios beforehand. (A note to NASW members coming to the meeting: the library is a few minutes' walk from the Omni Hotel, where the meeting is going to be held. And it will run from 4 to 6 on Friday, 11/5, ending just time for everyone to get to the evening NASW festivities.)
