SUMMARY:Science History Institute Presents History of Tofu
DESCRIPTION:Come together for an engaging evening with the Institute’s Jesse Smith and food historian Russell Thomas\, author of Tofu: A Culinary History. In this lively talk\, Thomas traces tofu’s remarkable journey from its ancient origins in East Asia to its global rise as a staple of modern plant-based cuisine. Blending cultural history\, food science\, and surprising culinary anecdotes\, he reveals how a humble soybean product became a symbol of tradition\, innovation\, and identity across continents. This global history of bean curd stretches from ancient creation myths and tomb paintings\, via Chinese poetry and Japanese Buddhist cuisine\, to deportations in Soviet Russia and struggles for power on the African continent.

SUMMARY:The Elements of Marie Curie
DESCRIPTION:Join author Dava Sobel for an exciting evening exploring how the glow of radium lit a path for women in science. \nWe 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.
