We’ve already discussed the accomplishments of Marie Curie, but you can still join us for the remainder of our fall book club exploring Vera Rubin and Mae Jemison through books about their lives, discoveries and journeys in science.
The series is facilitated by Erin Howard, a research scientist whose own work connects directly to astronomy and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
Meet with us on Zoom for one session or both remaining sessions:
September 22 | Vera Rubin Vera Rubin: A Life by Jacqueline and Simon Mitton
Foreword by Jocelyn Bell Burnell
October 27 | Mae Jemison Find Where the Wind Goes: Moments From My Life by Mae Jemison
Register once and join any of the conversations. If you participated in our discussion of Madame Curie, you’re already set for the remaining sessions.
