Private screening of the film, ANYA

pgEd and the Harvard Medical School Department of Genetics are hosting the first private advanced screening of the upcoming feature film ANYA, which is a love story and genetics mystery that takes place in Queens, NY. Over three years ago, the Science and Entertainment Exchange of the National Academy of Sciences contacted pgEd director, Ting Wu, on behalf of two filmmakers, Carylanna Taylor and Jacob Okada, who were seeking a genetic explanation for the central plot line of their screenplay. Thus began a conversation between the writers, the Wu lab, and pgEd. We are delighted to welcome Carylanna and Jacob back to our campus for this private screening, followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers and lead actor, Motell Foster!
