Flash Talk by Erik Vilain |
We attended Flash Talk given by Dr. Erik Vilain on Forrest Bess. Since we were not allowed to take the picture inside, this is the only picture I can post here. The professor of Human Genetics and Director of the Institute for Society and Genetics at UCLA gave a seminar about intersexuality and the genetics of gender identity. Some stories he gave about his conversation with his patients really opened my vision in this mystery field. Although hard to empathy their real feelings, but replace my position with them also evoke the pain as a minority in the society.

I would recommend all UCLA students (not only our class!) to take a look at Hammer museum, although not as famous as those large one like Getty or LACMA, there are still some exciting artworks to be appreciated.
