The Nova Forum for Catholic Thought is sponsoring a Talk at 7:00 pm on Sunday, January 26, at the University of Southern California’s Caruso Catholic Center (844 West 32nd Street, Los Angeles, CA, 90007).  The Speaker is Prof. Suzanne Bohlson of UC Irvine, whose talk is entitled “The Catholic Scientist who Survived the Bomb: The Faith of Takashi Nagai.”  Prof. Bohlson is on the Board of the newly formed Southern California Chapter of the Society of Catholic Scientists. 

The talk will be given over dessert in Newman Hall following Mass and “SCupper.”  Sprinkles cupcakes & free copies of Nagai’s book (A Song for Nagasaki) for all who attend!

Come hear the amazing story of the scientist and Catholic convert who survived the atomic bomb on Nagasaki and brought healing to his people. Even as he suffered from leukemia from the radiation, Dr. Takashi Nagai lived a heroic life of service and forgiveness. Join us as Dr. Suzanne Bohlson, professor of molecular biology at UC Irvine—another scientist and Catholic convert—tells the story of Nagai’s remarkable life. Dr. Bohlson will share her own story along the way and suggest what we can learn from Nagai.
