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 and of the celebrations of Abdus Salam’s 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.
