OLLI at BCC and Knesset Israel presents:

The Dressmaker's Mirror: One Family's Secret and How Genetic Testing Could Save Yours

with Dr. Susan Weiss Liebman

October 6 at 7:00 p.m. ET

Online via Zoom

Susan Weiss Liebman, PhD, is a geneticist who studied at MIT as one of relatively few women at the time, then taught genetics while running her own research laboratory for fifty years — first at the University of Illinois at Chicago and later the University of Nevada, Reno. After the sudden death of her young niece revealed a hidden genetic mutation running through her family, she became a medical detective and an advocate for genetic testing that can save lives. She is the author of The Dressmaker's Mirror: Sudden Death, Genetics, and a Jewish Family's Secret. She and her husband of fifty-seven years have two children and four grandchildren.
