The Elements of Marie Curie

October 22 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Free

Join author Dava Sobel for an exciting evening exploring how the glow of radium lit a path for women in science.

We all know the legendary name, Madame Marie Sklodowska Curie, one of the most iconic figures in the history of science. But tonight, we dive into a story that’s rarely told: the extraordinary legacy she left behind, not just in the lab, but in the lives of the brilliant women she mentored and inspired. Her influence reaches far beyond Nobel Prizes and groundbreaking discoveries. Madame Curie paved a new path in the culture of science by opening doors and creating space for generations of women who wanted to pursue science as a way of life.
