The Nun Study recently returned to the U of M and I was interested to learn more about this epidemiological study which has enrolled hundreds of nuns from a particular order, and has led to numerous studies and findings about aging, Alzheimer's, the role of diet and exercise in aging, etc. It's a fascinating story of how the study was launched and has evolved over time. This isn't a particularly well-written book, and the author comes across as narcissistic at times, but I so enjoyed getting to know some of the nuns who have participated in the study and, overall, found this story of confluence of science, service and compassion to be very compelling.
