Brain Buzz: Hidden Figures in Astronomy: The Harvard Computers
Jan 25, 2017 6:00 pm 
Vermont Institute of Natural Science 
6565 Woodstock Road, Quechee, VT 05059
Ever wonder what you are looking at in the night sky? Curious how early astronomers investigated space?  Dartmouth graduate student, Mackenzie Jones, will introduces us to astronomy’s “hidden figures”, the Harvard Computers, and takes us on an in-depth exploration of their accomplishments at a time when women astronomers were rare.  If weather permits, we will be outdoors to observe the stars and constellations discovered by these women.  Come stargaze with us! This special Brain Buzz event will be held at the VINS Nature Center, 6565 Woodstock Rd, Quechee, VT. This event is FREE and open to the public.  Refreshments will be provided.  Donations greatly appreciated. Brain Buzz: Locally sourced science and scientists.   Come share in the discussion and learn about the exciting research that Upper Valley residents are involved with here and around the world.   Brain Buzz is presented in partnership by Dartmouth School of Graduate Studies, Upper Valley Food Coop and Vermont Institute of Natural Science.  
Cost: free
