Author Talk with Bonnie Garmus: Lessons in Chemistry

Join us for an entertaining virtual chat with author Bonnie Garmus as she discusses her debut New York Times bestselling novel Lessons in Chemistry, set in 1960’s California, featuring the singular voice of Chemist Elizabeth Zott, a scientist whose career takes an unexpected detour.

It begins in the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Zott soon finds herself at the helm of a cooking show. “Welcome to the 1960s, where a woman’s arsenal of tools was often limited to the kitchen—and where Elizabeth Zott is hellbent on overturning the status quo one meal at a time.”
