Memoir Breaking through the Spiral Ceiling is posted by Nature!

Dear friends and readers,

My Nature editor, Ilona Miko, has just posted an announcement about my forthcoming memoir and a lecture I'm giving on it at Emory University on the women in science forum.  You can check it out here:

Having a book nearing release is very stimulating and I'm really looking forward to May 2, when Amazon and the other outlets will have the book available for ordering.  I love the cover, which my daughter Heather helped me with.  At Emory, I'm giving a big public lecture as well as meeting with students, and I hope we'll discuss career/family balance, one of my major themes.  Now that I'm evolving into a writer, I have a lot of nostalgia for biology too, so I'd love to talk about that with the students.

Whoo hoo, Laura, great news. I hope you'll be talking closer by at some point. Enjoy the cold weather back east!

Good news. I hope you get a good crowd to hear the reading. Will you be selling copies of the book?

Actually, how can you have nostalgia for biology when you're still teaching and researching it? I guess you're seeing it in the rear view mirror, more or less.

I can't wait until it's out on Amazon. It's in May, right? I might use it in my class next year, so I want to read it asap.
