women, science – and music
Yesterday, during the interval of an inspirational concert commemorating the 45th anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King, I had a chance conversation with Frances Lynch of the Electric Voice Theatre. She told me about her project linking young women to science through musical stories. It sounds a wonderful initiative, and very PP-relevant, so I’m passing on the link.
This project we discussed, about Women in Science, “Minerva Scientifica” http://www.electricvoicetheatre.co.uk/index.html_012.html is due to premiere in September at Ento ’13
Royal Entomological Society International Symposium and Annual National Science Meeting in St. Andrews. Its the beginning of a journey on which we hope to meet many women scientists and artists, exploring their place in the world, and sharing their experiences with young women through words, music and discussion. We hope to reach as many schools, and interested groups as possible with this project – so do get in touch if you have any ideas
