About the author Muffy Walker

Muffy Walker was born and raised outside of Philadelphia, PA. In 1983, Walker graduated with a Master's of Science in Psychiatric Nursing from the University of Pennsylvania. She worked in the mental health field for over 18 years until she moved to California when she obtained her MBA with a focus in marketing from the University of California-Irvine.

Walker has owned several companies both for and not for profit and is the co- founder of International Bipolar Foundation (IBPF). She has served on the Board for the American Brain Coalition, Advisory Council for Children's Mental Health Network, Editorial Board for bp Magazine, and the Community Engagement Task Force for International Society for Bipolar Disorders and was Co-Chair for the launch of World Bipolar Day.

Walker has dedicated over three decades of her life championing the education of the public about mental illness and has won numerous awards for her advocacy work including the National Council Behavioral Health IMPACT Award, the International Society for Bipolar Disorder’s most highly coveted Mogens Schou Award, Salvation Army Woman of Dedication, YWCA Visionary Award, YWCA Tribute to Women and Industry (TWIN Award), Leonard Simpson Women Who Give Back Award, and the Emily Bagnall Philanthropy Award.

She has written extensively on mental health topics, contributing chapters, guides, and newspaper articles to the field. Now, she is channeling that experience into writing fiction, weaving together her professional expertise and personal passions to create stories that entertain while offering insights into complex, real-world issues. Her debut novel, Memory Weavers, published by Koehler Books launches April 8. Her goal is to educate readers in a way that feels natural, engaging, and thought-provoking.

When not writing, Walker loves exploring exotic destinations, savoring decadent chocolate desserts, and spending time with her dogs. She is also an avid pickleball player and enjoys the strategy and fun of Mah Jong.

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.
