Curie_Meitner_Lamarr_UNTEILBAR
A theater evening with round table and networking
Tuesday, 16th April 2024 starting at 18:20
Lise Meitner Hörsaal (1090 Wien, Boltzmanngasse 5)
We are very pleased to invite you to a unique evening at the Faculty of Physics, in which our lecture hall will turn into a theater stage.
Under the spotlight the lives of three great female scientists. In the words of the producers of the piece from portraittheater:
Radiation. Nuclear fission. Frequency leaps.
Three outstanding female pioneers exemplify the achievements of women in the technical and scientific field: Marie Curie, the two-time Nobel Prize winner and discoverer of radioactivity, the Austrian nuclear physicist Lise Meitner and the Austrian-born Hollywood actress Hedy Lamarr, who developed the frequency hopping process. As different as they may have been in their life choices, their biographies unexpectedly show parallels. Their lives as women cannot be separated from their paths as seekers and researchers. Excerpts from their lives, successes and obstacles are interwoven in the play with the content of their research and their passion for what they do.
After the performance we will hold a roundtable of female physicists, in which the today relevant topics considering career, science, and gender will be discussed. The event will end with the opportunity to network with a glass of wine and some snacks.
