Carl Djerassi: From the Pill to the Pen - CANCELED

Carl Djerassi, a teenage refugee from Nazism and a prodigiously gifted chemist, along with Gregory Pincus and John Rock, fathered the birth control pill. Djerassi, now in his 90s, has published short stories, poetry, an autobiography, seven plays, and Four Jews on Parnassus – A Conversation, a dramatized discussion between 20th century philosopher Walter Benjamin, intellectuals Theodor W. Adorno and Gershom Scholem, and composer Arnold Schönberg focusing on the Jewish struggle with identity.
