Lawrence Ingrassia & Joanne Lipman - A Fatal Inheritance
In "A Fatal Inheritance: How a Family Misfortune Revealed a Deadly Medical Mystery," Lawrence Ingrassia weaves his moving family story with a sweeping history of cancer research, delivering an intimate, gripping tale that sits at the intersection of memoir and medical thriller. Ingrassia lost his mother, two sisters, brother, and nephew to cancer-different cancers developing at different points throughout their lives. And while highly unusual, his family is not the only one to wonder whether their heartbreak is the result of unbelievable bad luck, or if there might be another explanation.
Through meticulous research and riveting storytelling, Ingrassia takes us from the 1960s-when Frederick Pei Li, MD and Joseph Fraumeni Jr., MD first met, not yet knowing that they would help make a groundbreaking discovery that would affect cancer patients for decades to come-to present day, as Ingrassia and countless others continue to unpack and build upon Li and Fraumeni’s initial discoveries, and to understand what this means for their families.
Ingrassia is an author and award-winning journalist, having worked as a senior editor at the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Los Angeles Times before retiring from newspapers in 2017. In his decades-long newspaper career, journalists directed by him won five Pulitzer Prizes - for national reporting, explanatory reporting, international reporting, and commentary - as well as Polk, Loeb and other awards.
Ingrassia will be in conversation with Joanne Lipman, a pioneering journalist and the bestselling author of "Next! The Power of Reinvention in Life and Work" and the No. 1 bestseller "That’s What She Said: What Men and Women Need to Know About Working Together." She has served as Editor-in-Chief of USA Today, USA Today Network, Conde Nast Portfolio, and The Wall Street Journal’s Weekend Journal, leading those organizations to six Pulitzer Prizes. She is also an on-air CNBC contributor and Yale University journalism lecturer.

    One thing I will try that is mentioned here and in other academic resources on effective education is getting more adults in the classrooms, training them, and retaining a certain percentage as a steady volunteer force. For the most part, nothing remotely similar to this is happening in schools I know of in my area. It's just my speculation but getting more parents and adults involved seems like it would lead to additional support for students and all involved parties, an increased sense of community, and more consistency between priorities, needs, and messaging within the classroom, home, and community.

    ❤️ this young girls! I think the less resourced communities and schools should be given more resources for a period of time, possibly for generations, so they can have the opportunity to catch up, feel save and thrive. I don’t know how funding works, but as a mom from a community who has enough, I would be happy to see more state or federal money go to communities who need it, even if we got less. We have enough, and chances are, if we don’t, we have family or friends, or churches nearby who can help. Really loved hearing these girls and wish them the best.

    I wonder why there are no VISUALS on screen during this talk. It seems to me that part of the problem with screen addiction is a lack of FOCUS. Our devices flood us with INFO-MANIA. This is highly stimulating, but also depressing, because there is no goal, no clear focus, just endlessly stimulation.

    The 30,000,000 words claim comes from a 50 year old study that was dubious at best. Claiming the gap is 30,000,000 words before the age of four means 75 million words per year ... that's 24 words PER SECOND that is the GAP ALONE. She's basically saying that well developed kids are hearing more than 24 words per second for 14 hours per day non-stop ... for four years. This is impossible. The idea is good but silly math claims that are impossible hurt the message.

    Having a childhood is not the same as being left unsupervised in the streets. Parents can sit themselves outside on a folding chair in a safe, largely quiet and car-free area and let the kids play freely with the neighborhood kids. They can go to a park and do the same. They can bring kids over to the house or the backyard. "Free range" parents are irresponsible, and I and others with this sense are no "helicopters." We just understand that kids are still uncooked. I don't know of any evidence anyway to suggest that the more a kid roams around the streets unsupervised, the more successful and independent that kid becomes in life. There are also many families that don't even have the means because they live in extremely busy cities, sometimes crime-ridden ones, in apartments or small homes, maybe in low-income areas rather than wealthy suburban areas. A kid won't experience detriment just because he/she doesn't walk and play miles away from home without watchful adults nearby. There are many means for kids to play and discover the world.
