Join us for a special Homecoming screening of Cracking the Code: Phil Sharp and the Biotech Revolution, a documentary chronicling the remarkable journey of 1966 Union alumnus Phil Sharp from a rural Kentucky farm boy who battled dyslexia to a Nobel Prize-winning scientist whose discovery of RNA helped launch the biotechnology revolution.

Narrated by Mark Ruffalo and featuring insights from Walter Isaacson, the film explores Sharp’s groundbreaking work and its impact on biology and life-saving treatments around the world.

Following the screening, Phil and his wife, Anne—both members of Union’s Class of 1966—will join us virtually for a special Q&A. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from the Sharps about Phil’s remarkable career, their Union experience and the journey that followed their time at Union.

Free and open to the public. Registration is encouraged. Complimentary popcorn and water will be provided. The on-campus location will be shared with registered attendees prior to the event.
