SUMMARY:What's Gotten Into You: The Story of Your Body's Atoms\, from the B
 ig Bang Through Last Night's Dinner (Zoom only)
DESCRIPTION:Book Preview event with TBZ Member Dan Levitt: What's Gotten In
 to You: The Story of Your Body's Atoms\, from the Big Bang Through Last Ni
 ght's Dinner\, in conversation with Dan Kirschner\nThursday\, January 12\
 nOnline Only (Zoom link here)\nJoin the conversation between TBZ members D
 an Kirscner and Dan Levitt about his new book. For readers of Bill Bryson\
 , Neil deGrasse Tyson\, and Siddhartha Mukherjee\, a wondrous\, wildly amb
 itious\, and vastly entertaining work of popular science that tells the aw
 e-inspiring story of the elements that make up the human body\, and how th
 ese building blocks of life traveled billions of miles and across billions
  of years to make us who we are.\nEvery one of us contains a billion times
  more atoms than all the grains of sand in the earth’s deserts. If you w
 eigh 150 pounds\, you’ve got enough carbon to make 25 pounds of charcoal
 \, enough salt to fill a saltshaker\, enough chlorine to disinfect several
  backyard swimming pools\, and enough iron to forge a 3-inch nail. But how
  did these elements combine to make us human? Shaped by the curious mind a
 nd bold vision of science and history documentarian Dan Levitt\, this wond
 rous book is no less than the story of life itself!\nAll matter—everythi
 ng around us and within us—has an ultimate birthday: the day the univers
 e was born. This informative\, eye-opening\, and eminently readable book i
 s the story of our atoms’ long strange journey from the Big Bang to the 
 creation of stars\, through the assembly of Planet Earth\, and the formati
 on of life as we know it. It’s also the story of the scientists who made
  groundbreaking discoveries and unearthed extraordinary insights into the 
 composition of life. Behind their unexpected findings were investigations 
 marked by fierce rivalries\, obsession\, heartbreak\, flashes of insight\,
  and flukes of blind luck. Ultimately they’ve helped us understand the m
 ystery of our existence: how a quadrillion atoms made of particles from th
 e Big Bang now animate each of our cells.\nShaped by the curious mind an
 d bold vision of science and history documentarian Dan Levitt\, this wondr
 ous book is no less than the story of life itself!
