Book Club:  The Exceptions: Nancy Hopkins, MIT, and the Fight for Women in Science      

by Kate Zernike  

A New York Times Notable Book

“Gripping…one puts down the book inspired by the women’s grit, tenacity, and brilliance.” —Science
“Riveting.” —Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Gene

 

In 1963, a female student was attending a lecture given by Nobel Prize winner James Watson, then tenured at Harvard. At nineteen, she was struggling to define her future. She had given herself just ten years to fulfill her professional ambitions before starting the family she was expected to have. For women at that time, a future on the usual path of academic science was unimaginable—but during that lecture, young Nancy Hopkins fell in love with the promise of genetics. Confidently believing science to be a pure meritocracy, she embarked on a career.

 

In 1999, Hopkins, now a noted molecular geneticist and cancer researcher at MIT, divorced and childless, found herself underpaid and denied the credit and resources given to men of lesser rank. Galvanized by the flagrant favoritism, Hopkins led a group of sixteen women on the faculty in a campaign that prompted MIT to make the historic admission that it had long discriminated against its female scientists. The sixteen women were a formidable group: their work has advanced our understanding of everything from cancer to geology, from fossil fuels to the inner workings of the human brain. And their work to highlight what they called “21st-century discrimination”—a subtle, stubborn, often unconscious bias—set off a national reckoning with the pervasive sexism in science.

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist who broke the story, The Exceptions chronicles groundbreaking science and a history-making fight for equal opportunity. It is the “excellent and infuriating” (The New York Times) story of how this group of determined, brilliant women used the power of the collective and the tools of science to inspire ongoing radical change. And it offers an intimate look at the passion that drives discovery, and a rare glimpse into the competitive, hierarchical world of elite science—and the women who dared to challenge it.

Rooms for the Marriott family Moxy and Residence Inn hotels were available through at least April 23rd via a contingent; contingent rates may still be available. Book your group rate for MIT Club of Germany

If you'd like to stay somewhere else, we recommend you make sure to book as soon as possible as hotels will fill up and become more expensive as the event draws closer. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Frankfurt, we would suggest avoiding the area close to the Hauptbahnhof. 

For the foodies among you, we have coordinated with top local restaurants, for example: 

• Margarete: "In the heart of Frankfurt's Old Town, right near the Römer and surrounded by museums and galleries, lies Margarete – a place characterized by urban flair and warm hospitality. Our philosophy is simple: We want you to have a great time with us! Whether as guests in the bistro or enjoying a five-course menu in the restaurant, while shopping in the Magazin, or when planning your event with us." (Credit: Margarete website) 
• Oosten Realwirtschaft am Main: "‘Fooding am Main’ combines high-quality food with a modern, cultural lifestyle. In the centre of Frankfurt, we are creating a unique environment where innovative cuisine, local ingredients and a relaxed atmosphere come together. It is an invitation to experience and celebrate culinary delights in all their facets." (Credit: Oosten website) 

Frankfurt is a vibrant city with plenty to do for everyone. If you have time in Frankfurt beyond the AGM, perhaps one or more of the following may be of interest to you:  

• The Senckenberg Natural History Museum has been highly recommended by one of our alums for both adults and children 
• If the Senckenberg isn't quite your style, you have 38 more museums to choose from -- all part of the Museumsufer Frankfurt (although not all are directly on the riverbank) representing nationally and internationally important museums and art galleries  
• Römerberg, the heart of the medieval "Altstadt" is always worth a visit, even though the beautiful half-timber buildings you view today are mostly reconstructed
• Palmengarten, the Frankfurt Botanical Garden, is likely to be an exceptional draw with the typically-mild temperatures of late May  

Please purchase your AGM tickets as soon as possible, but no later than Sunday, May 18th.

If you plan to attend any or all of the optional events, please make sure to add the items to your reservation as well: 

• Friday, 14:00: Tour of the Deutsche Bahn ICE Maintenance Facility
• Friday, 18:30: Informal dinner at "Zu den 12 Aposteln" on personal tabs (optional) 
• Sunday, 10:00: Exhibition "Aufbruch und Wandel - das neue Frankfurt und die Gegenwart" at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum
