Dr. Cooper’s talk engages the archives of Dr. Skip Elsas, a medical doctor tasked by the International Olympic Committee with verifying the gender identity of female athletes competing at the 1996 summer games in Atlanta. The 30-mins in-progress talk will be followed by 30-mins for Q&A and socializing over coffee and snacks. Registration is appreciated but not required.
