SUMMARY:MJH | “Sisters in Science” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:In the 1930s\, Germany was a hotbed of scientific thought. But after the Nazis took power\, Jewish and female citizens were forced out of their academic positions. Hedwig Kohn\, Lise Meitner\, Hertha Sponer and Hildegard Stücklen were eminent in their fields\, but they had no choice but to flee due to their Jewish ancestry or anti-Nazi sentiments.Well researched and written with cinematic prose\, Olivia Campbell’s Sisters in Science brings these trailblazing women to life and shows us how sisterhood and scientific curiosity can transcend borders and persist—flourish\, even—in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.\nOlivia Campbell is the New York Times bestselling author of Women in White Coats: How the First Women Doctors Changed the World of Medicine and Sisters in Science: How Four Women Physicists Escaped Nazi Germany and Made Scientific History. She is also a thesis advisor for Johns Hopkins University’s science writing program and a regular contributor to National Geographic. Her work has appeared in The Atlantic\, History.com\, Scientific American\, The Guardian\, Literary Hub\, and New York Magazine\, among others.\nTo register\, click here.&nbsp\;
