# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Great Women Astronomers and Physicists
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 22 Nov, 2025 at 02:00 pm – Sat, 22 Nov, 2025 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: There is a famous photograph of the Solvay Physics Conference in 1911 showing Marie Curie as the only woman among 23 men. She had won the Nobel Prize eight years before; her husband Pierre Curie insisted that she share it since she had done the work and discovered radium. For the next 100 years only one woman was to win that prize although many deserved it. Professor Michael Albrow shall tell stories of several great but not well-known women physicists and astronomers in history. Today less than 24% of Ph.D. physicists and astronomers are women - why is that? Why should men have all the fun? Girls, we need your talent! 

Ages 10+.
