with speaker, Steven Federman, Ph.D.
Sunday, February 12, 2023

The universe was born in the Big Bang roughly 13.7 billion years ago. The galaxies, stars and planets that we see today began to form in the first billion years. The James Webb telescope allows us to see into this early universe. Steve will describe the theory and observations that led us to this picture, how the Webb telescope is bringing us new insights, and how all of this compares to the creation story in Genesis.

WCBI Book Club:
Left on Tenth: A Second Chance at Life by Delia Ephron
Tuesday, February 28, 2023
10:30 AM In-Person at CBI
It is not necessary to have read the book to join the discussion.
The bestselling, beloved writer of romantic comedies like You've Got Mail tells her own late-in-life love story, complete with a tragic second act and joyous resolution.
Delia Ephron had struggled through several years of heartbreak. She’d lost her sister, Nora, and then her husband, Jerry, both to cancer. Several months after Jerry’s death, she decided to make one small change in her life—she shut down his landline, which crashed her internet. She ended up in Verizon hell.
She channeled her grief the best way she knew: by writing a New York Times op-ed. The piece caught the attention of Peter, a Bay Area psychiatrist, who emailed her to commiserate. Recently widowed himself, he reminded her that they had shared a few dates fifty-four years before, set up by Nora. Delia did not remember him, but after several weeks of exchanging emails and sixties folk songs, he flew east to see her. They were crazy, utterly, in love. But this was not a rom-com: four months later she was diagnosed with AML, a fierce leukemia.
In Left on Tenth, Delia Ephron enchants as she seesaws us between tears and laughter, navigating the suicidal lows of enduring innovative treatment and the giddy highs of a second chance at love. With Peter and her close girlfriends by her side, with startling clarity, warmth, and honesty about facing death, Ephron invites us to join her team of warriors and become believers ourselves.
