An Evening with Sam Kean



Join New York Times bestselling author Sam Kean at the Hudson Library & Historical Society on Tuesday, September 11 at 7 p.m. as he spins a selection of funny, spooky, poignant, and completely true science stories from several of his award-winning books. Kean is the author of The Tale of the Dueling Neurosurgeons, The Disappearing Spoon, The Violinist's Thumb, and the latest, Caesar's Last Breath: Decoding the Secrets of the Air Around Us. Topics covered include the joys of the periodic table, the perils and promise of the human genome and the enduring mysteries of neuroscience, as well as Sam's path as a science writer.



Kean’s stories have appeared in The Best American Science and Nature Writing, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New York Times Magazine, Slate, and Psychology Today, and his work has been featured on NPR’s “Radiolab,” “Science Friday,” and “All Things Considered.” Caesar’s Last Breath was named the Guardian science book of the year in 2017, while The Disappearing Spoon was a runner-up for the Royal Society book of the year. Both The Violinist’s Thumb and The Dueling Neurosurgeons were nominated for PEN’s literary science writing award.
