Night Moves: Harold Varmus at the Free Library

Don't know what to do tonight? Don't worry, we've got you covered.

Harold Varmus, the National Institute of Health's director under Bill Clinton, was quite the late bloomer. He didn't decide to study science until his first year in a Ph.D. program in English lit. Tonight, at the Free Library, he'll discuss how he was so self-unaware for so long (and how he got the balls to change course so late in the game), as well as the inner workings of big-budget science, his research on cancer-causing genes and stem cell research. Which, unsurprisingly, he digs.


Tue., July 14, 7:30 p.m., free, Free Library of Philadelphia, 1901 Vine St., 215-567-4341, library.phila.gov.
