In this talk, scientist and science writer Ainissa Ramirez, Ph.D., will discuss her new book "The Alchemy of Us" which won the CT Book Award and was a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize. The book unfolds how simple inventions shaped society. Ramirez will illustrate how everyday objects had a hand in changing language, politics, and even our bodies.
