What an exciting event! Dava Sobel's work has always been inspiring, and her focus on Marie Curie's incredible legacy is bound to spark meaningful discussions about the role of women in science. Combining a lecture with a telescope-guided night sky tour is a brilliant idea—melding history, literature, and astronomy. Kudos to the organizers for making it hybrid, ensuring accessibility for everyone. Looking forward to hearing more about this event and how it unfolds!
