SUMMARY:Women in Science - Curie-Meitner-Lamarr-Indivisible - A performance by the Vienna Portrait Theater
DESCRIPTION:
 The Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics - 
 Center for the Evolution of the Elements is 
 inviting the MSU and greater Lansing communities 
 to a theater performance by the "portraittheater" 
 from Vienna, Austria. It will take place 
 in the auditorium of the Facility for Rare 
 Isotope Beams (Room 1300, 640 South Shaw Lane) 
 on March 23, 2017 at 6.30 p.m. \n
 \n
 The performance 
 highlights three outstanding women 
 pioneers in the field of science and technology, 
 whose achievements still affect our lives 
 today: The double Nobel Prize winner and discoverer 
 of radioactivity Marie Curie (1867-1934), 
 the Austrian-Swedish nuclear physicist 
 Lise Meitner (1878-1968) and the Viennese Hollywood 
 actress Hedy Lamarr (1914-2000), who invented 
 frequency hopping, which is still used 
 today for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology. Their 
 triumphs and struggles are brought to life 
 in "Curie_Meitner_Lamarr_indivisible", illustrated 
 with music and videos. \n
 \n
 The show 
 will be followed by a reception with the actress, 
 the director of the play and local scientists 
 between 8 and 9 p.m. in the foyer of the 
 auditorium. Prior to the show, there is the 
 opportunity to tour the National Superconducting 
 Cyclotron Laboratory starting at 4:30 p.m. 
 \n
