"The Surprising Artistic Lives of Cancer Physicians" with Temple Sinai member Dr. Anthony Zietman
2024-08-18 17:00 - 19:00 UTC | Temple Sinai
Join us at Temple Sinai for a member talk from Dr. Anthony Zietman. As editor of major cancer journals, Anthony invited physicians to submit scientific work for the journals, and their art work for the covers. The art is every bit as astounding as the science, and the stories behind the art are even more remarkable! Anthony will share the best of the art and the most inspiring of the stories at this wine and cheese reception.
