The Hidden Force - Teatro Miela, 11 February - International Day of Women and Girls in Science

[Infopoint]

Dear All,

This year ICTP will celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls 
in Science through an event organised jointly with INFN and based on the 
play "*The Hidden Force*", which offers an overview of 20th-century 
physics through the eyes of four women scientists.

Join us on *11 February at 18.00 hrs at Teatro Miela*, in downtown 
Trieste, for a theatrical experience combining science and art. The play 
will be followed by a Q&A session with the actresses and the director of 
the play.

/The Hidden Force/is a play that highlights the contributions of women 
to fundamental physics through the poetic storytelling of the life and 
work of four significant but only partly recognized scientists of the 
20th century: the American astronomer Vera Rubin, the Austrian nuclear 
physicist Marietta Blau, the Chinese particle physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, 
and the Italian physicist Milla Baldo Ceolin. Their stories are 
intertwined with radical social and historical changes in an 
international context characterized by great upheaval but also by the 
birth of modern physics and institutions like INFN, ICTP and CERN.

Attendance is free, but seating is limited and must be reserved ahead of 
the event at this link 
<https://agenda.infn.it/event/44983/page/9693-overview-eng>. The 
performance will be in Italian, with English subtitles.

More information about the event can be found on the ICTP website

We look forward to seeing you on 11 February!

Best wishes,
The ICTP Public Information Unit
