Climate scientist and policy expert Anna Farro Henderson embarks on a remarkable narrative journey in CORE SAMPLES, exploring how science is done, discussed, legislated, and imagined. Through stories both raucous and poignant — of far-flung expeditions, finding artistic inspiration in research, and traversing the systemic barriers women and mothers face in science and politics — she brings readers into the daily rhythms and intimacies of scientific research and political negotiation.

Dr. Henderson is joining us on the Busboys stage to share more about her research and “why progress on matters of life and death can be so maddeningly slow...” (Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature). Copies of the book will be available for purchase during and after the event, and Dr. Henderson will be signing following the program.

This event is free and open to all. Our program begins at 6 p.m. and will be followed by an audience Q&A. Copies of CORE SAMPLES will be available for purchase before and after the event.
