A Women in STEM Book Club
Three extraordinary women. Three remarkable lives. Three conversations about curiosity, discovery and changing what's possible.
Join Battle Point Observatory for a three-part fall book club exploring Marie Curie, 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 all three:
August 25 | Marie Curie
Madame Curie by Eve Curie
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
6:00–7:00 PM | Zoom
Register once and join any or all three conversations.
