A professor emerita of medicine at Stanford, Charlotte DeCroes Jacobs is also the author of the critically acclaimed Henry Kaplan and the Story of Hodgkin’s Disease and Jonas Salk: A Life. Her latest work, a biography of Setsuko Nakamura Thurlow, is 90 Seconds to Midnight: A Hiroshima Survivor’s Nuclear Odyssey, which Pulitzer Prize finalist Eric Schlosser calls “inspiring, heroic, and profoundly important. This is a remarkable book about a truly remarkable woman.” Jacobs discussed the new book with fellow BIO member Jenny Skoog in June.
