BookHampton and the East Hampton Library come together to present an important and welcoming evening with Dr. Elisa Port, Chief of Breast Surgery at Mount Sinai Health System. In conversation with Christina Cuomo—founder of PURIST—Dr. Port will share insights from her essential book, The Breast Advice: All You Need to Know About Breast Health, Screening, and Treatment. May 16th @ 6 PM at East Hampton Library register here /.../author-talk... Dr. Port, author of the transformational The New Generation Breast Cancer Book, brings 30 years of clinical experience to this essential volume, a must-read for anyone with breasts. Drawing from the stories and strength of the many patients she has treated; THE BREAST ADVICE offers an unprecedented fusion of doctor-driven science and patient-driven wisdom. It’s not just a guidebook; it’s a companion through prevention, diagnosis, and the breast cancer journey, providing clarity, comfort, and confidence equally relevant to those who might be at risk as to those newly diagnosed. Covering everything from risk factors, screening, and genetic testing to treatment options like surgery, chemotherapy, and cutting-edge therapies, Dr. Port also addresses the deeply personal aspects of breast cancer care—diet and lifestyle, navigating treatment side effects, and mental and emotional resilience. #breastcancer #breastcancerawareness #drelisaport #mountsinaihospital #christinacuomo #purist #easthamptonny #EastHamptonLibrary #bookhampton

Joan Baum lecture, “The Great Gatsby At 100.” Hybrid Event, in person & Zoom Last year marked the 100th anniversary of the publication of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, a classic of American Literature that many think deepens in significance with repeated readings. A memorable literary and cultural reflection on The Twenties, it expresses a complex theme of longing and loss that resonates today. The green light at the edge of Daisy’s dock goes out as we move through the world, sadder, not always wiser, but it can still pulse occasionally, an ambiguous memory of what was or might have been in our own lives and in the life of our country.

Have you ever looked at the transporter in Star Trek or the rotating, artificial gravity spaceship in 2001: A Space Odyssey and wondered “Is that actually possible?” We have all been enthralled by the imaginings of Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Gene Roddenbury, Jules Verne and so many others who have foreshadowed future science. History is full of “fiction” that later became reality, like hand-held communication devices, tablets, and space satellites. But the term “science fiction” is a misnomer in that it is generally not fiction about science. The genre is more appropriately titled “speculative fiction” since authors are free to speculate about what might have been, what is, and what might be. When these speculations are carried out subject to the constraints of physical law, we have what is called “Hard Science Fiction.” This lecture will delight all who appreciate the so-called “sci-fi” genre as they will discover what might have been, what is, and what might yet be subject to the constraints of physical law. After the lecture, weather permitting, in-person attendees will enjoy stargazing by telescope with Hamptons Observatory astronomers. Feel free to bring your own telescope.
