Miz Wizard's Science Secrets!
Sunday, October 21, 3:30 PM and 7:30 PM shows
Please join us as we explore the triumphs and obstacles for women in science through this solo performance that's guaranteed to make you laugh, think, shake your head and clap for joy!
The setting: Barbara Knight, aka Miz Wizard, prepares for and tapes the premiere show of Miz Wizard's Science Secrets for public access cable TV.
The "plot": With a sense of history and humor, Miz Wizard tells stories about women and girls' contributions to science, engineering, invention, and math... about revolutionary research and media portrayals... about theories of sex difference over time... about obstacles faced and overcome by women whose passion is discovery.
Who should come: EVERYONE. (Well, we do recommend that children be at least 12). This show is not only for girls and women, nor only for those interested in science, mathematics, engineering and technology. If you can name no more than two women scientists (and Marie Curie is one of the two) then you should certainly come! Do be aware that correct biological terms like "ovary" do crop up now and again!
Location: The Broad Institute Auditorium, 7 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA. For directions and maps see Acteva Registration Pages below.
