DESCRIPTION:<p><a href="https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/item/show/3921065093"><em>The Lost Family</em></a> explores the rapidly evolving phenomenon of home DNA testing, its implications for how we think about family and ourselves and its ramifications for American culture broadly. Libby Copeland will be in conversation with <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/alicia_zhou_dispelling_genetic_myths">Alicia Zhou</a>, Chief Science Officer at Color, a data-driven platform for population health.</p>

<p>In collaboration with the Bay Area&rsquo;s scientific, cultural and educational institutions, the <a href="http://www.bayareasciencefestival.org/">Bay Area Science Festival</a>, now in its 10th year, is an annual celebration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Organized by the Science and Health Education Partnership at UCSF, the Festival features hundreds of online activities, provocative conversations and virtual tours of cutting-edge facilities, all designed to connect residents with the region&rsquo;s scientists and engineers.</p>

<p>The festival runs from Oct. 21-25 and at SFPL we will feature picture books with a science connection during our live story times that week. Also join us online for STEM workshops aimed at elementary school-age audiences that explore basic science, engineering, math and technology topics.</p>
