Hong Kong's Morningside
Side 4: Turning Research Into Comics
Every year, Morningside chooses a book for its "One Book" program. The 2022-2023 One Book choice was Lissa, a graphic novel by Sherine Hamdy and Coleman Nye about medical intervention and the 2011 Egyptian revolution. In this episode, Hamdy and Nye talk with Junior Fellow Kait Roukey about their research in kidney transplants in Egypt and breast cancer in the U.S. and how they were inspired to create a graphic novel based on what they found. Their success demonstrates that academic research doesn't always have to turn into a paper.
