12:45 pm, Tuesday the 28th of April, HGS 204, Yale University
With the end of the year fast approaching with finals, quals, and/or papers, we invite you to a lunch ‘study break’ discussion with Dava Sobel, ‘science’ writer and best-selling author, of Galileo’s Daughter: A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love
. In addition to discussing her works, Dava Sobel will also have a few words on the Galileo exhibit currently on show at the Beinecke. Grab a free lunch, commiserate with fellow writers, and discuss why the past matters to public history. Science, like any other cultural product, has a history; come find out how one writer has balanced story and fact for a broader audience.
