Mary Roach, a popular science writer known for her humor, will be discussing her latest book on weird science and human anatomy at Liberty Hall as part of a public library reading series. The event is open to the public and free, with no registration required. Doors will open at 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 23, and the program will run from 7 to 9 p.m. Mary Roach will also be signing her books after the talk.
Her latest book, “Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy,” delves into medical breakthroughs, ethical dilemmas, and the future of human replacement according to a library news release. This event is part of the public library’s Ross and Marianna Beach reading series, which has been ongoing since 2014.
Mary Roach is a New York Times Bestselling author, and the library director, Brad Allen, expressed excitement about having her in Lawrence to continue the tradition of bringing renowned writers to the community. Roach has written other titles including “STIFF” about human cadavers, “GULP” about the alimentary canal, and “BUMP” about sexual physiology.
