Broad Discovery Series & Catalyst Conversations present: “My Heart in your Hands”

The heart uniquely straddles the world of art and science — a powerful metaphor for love and loss on the one hand, a literal life-sustaining force within each of us and an intense focus of genetic and medical research on the other. Join a Broad Discovery Series x Catalyst Conversations event addressing the heart, from the point of view of researchers who work on finding cures to heart disease and of writers and artists for whom the heart holds deeper meaning.
