Dear All,

You are most welcome to attend the event “The Birth of a Scientist and a 
Poet,” which will explore the connections between science and poetry.

The event will take place *on Sunday 10 May at 17.30 at the LeTS Museum, 
in Piazza Hortis.*

Starting from a reading of poems drawn from two of her collections, 
theoretical ecologist, poet, and ICTP former postdoctoral fellow *Madhur 
Anand* will explore how scientific research and poetic writing can stem 
from the same need to understand the world from different yet 
complementary perspectives.

The event is co-organised by ICTP and the International School of 
Advanced Studies (SISSA) as part of the science and literature festival 
Scienza e Virgola <https://www.scienzaevirgola.it/> and of the 
celebrations of Abdus Salam’s centennial 
<https://www.ictp.it/home/celebrating-salams-centennial>. It will be 
introduced by ICTP Director Atish Dabholkar and moderated by Sergia 
Adamo, professor of comparative literature and literary theory at the 
University of Trieste.

Attendance is free and registration is not needed. Just make sure to 
arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the event to secure a seat.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
