Science writer Rachel Gross discussing her new book “Vagina Obscura: An Anatomical Voyage”
Rachel Gross, award-winning science journalist, is the author of Vagina Obscura: An Anatomical Voyage (2021), a brilliant account of recent discoveries by a new generation of women scientists regarding the wonders of the female body. Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Ed Yong said, “Rachel Gross shows how long we have misunderstood the bodies of half the people who have ever lived…. Science writing at its finest—revelatory, wry, consequential, necessary, and incredibly hard to put down.”
A former Knight Journalism Fellow at MIT, Gross served until recently as digital editor of Smithsonian magazine.
Cosponsored by UAlbany’s Women in Science and Health network (WISH).
