This was an activity sponsored by MASGC focused on women in STEM.

The Women Who Mapped the Stars describes the lives and accomplishments of five women employed at the Harvard College Observatory over a century ago. They worked at half a mans salary and in their shadow. Despite the huge strides women have made since, the challenges faced by the women in the play seem just as relevant today.
– How do we continue on our path of progress for the next generation?
– How can we ensure that women bring their full potential to, and, benefit from humanitys science and technology-driven future?
These are questions we invited the audience to discuss following the performance led by several voices from women in the science community to share their experiences and provoke:
Joyce Van Dyke, Playwright
Regina Jorgenson, Director, Maria Mitchell Observatory
Meenakshi Narian, Professor of Physics, Brown University
moderated by, Raji Patel, Co-director, MIT NASA Space Grant Program
