Bonnie Garmus' new novel Lessons In Chemistry has been getting a lot of buzz. Elizabeth Zott is a talented chemist but because it's the 1960s she faces sexism in her quest to work as a scientist. So instead she has a cooking show that is wildly popular. Garmus told NPR's Scott Simon that the character of Elizabeth lived in her head for many years before she started writing this novel.

The election of 1860 was unquestionably the most important election in American history. 

The presidential election after that was still important, but it has the distinction of being the oddest presidential election in history, if for no other reason than it was conducted in the middle of a civil war. 

Learn more about the election of 1864 and all the ways we’ve never seen anything like it before or since, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 1946 after the conclusion of the Second World War, a Dutch man was accused of collaborating with the Nazis and plundering the Netherlands of some of its greatest artistic works. 

During the trial, he came up with a defense that seemed to everyone to be preposterous, yet wound up being true. 

Learn more about Han van Meegeren, the painter who duped the Nazis, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Author Jenny Tinghui Zhang is out with a new historical fiction novel, Four Treasures In The Sky. Set in the 1800s during the height of anti-Chinese sentiment, a young girl named Daiyu is kidnapped and brought to the U.S. Zhang told NPR's Ayesha Rascoe that she has seen a lot of reviews that refer to this book as 'timely' – and that she does not think that is a good thing when a book is about racism.

The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.

A note on notes: We’d much rather you just went into each episode of The Memory Palace cold. And just let the story take you where it well. So, we don’t suggest looking into the show notes first.

Music

• Dance PM from Horishi Yoshimura

• Amor - C.B. Rework by Clark

• Here’s What You’re Missin by Bing and Ruth

• Meredith Monk’s Ellis Island as played by Bruce Brubaker

• Alto Paraiso by Aukai

• Opening from Nathaniel Bartlett

• Rivers That you Cannot See by North Americans

• First of the Tide by Erland Cooper featuring Benge

Notes

• The episode old episode I mention in the credits as a companion to this one is here.

• Most of the biographical details in this were found in the official biography written for the National Academy of Sciences by his Uranium-hunting colleague, George Tilton, and a terrific, entertaining oral history interview.

• Also, if you’ve left episode in the mode where you’d just like to know some more, I came across this old Mental Floss article by Lucas Reilly that I thought did a particularly good job of weaving a lot of the back story (some of which I’d covered before in the Midgely episode linked above) into Patterson’s story. Just wanted to shine a light on it.

John J. Miller is joined by Matthew Hennessey to discuss his new book, 'Visible Hand.'

During the US Civil War, over a quarter million African-Americans served and fought on the Union side with distinction.

After the Civil War, in a reorganization of the United States Army, permanent, albeit segregated, units of black soldiers were created.

These units served in almost every military conflict fought by the United States until the end of the Second World War. 

Learn more about the Buffalo Soldiers, their origin, and their service, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

April is National Poetry Month, so to celebrate we are bringing you a conversation with poet Ocean Vuong. His new collection, Time Is A Mother, is about his grief after losing family members. Vuong told Morning Edition's Rachel Martin that time is different now that he has lost his mother: "when I look at my life since she died in 2019, I only see two days: Today when she's not here, and the big, big yesterday when I had her."

At the 1862 London International Exhibition, an inventor by the name of Andrew Parkes introduced a new product based on cellulose that he called Parkesine.

Little did he know that this material which could be made elastic when heated and molded into almost any shape imaginable would be the basis for an enormous percentage of the materials in common use in the 21st century. 

Learn more about plastics, how they were invented and how they are used in the modern world, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
