Start Date
8-11-2018 3:30 PM
Description
“It’s alive!” The famous movie monster has his roots in a novel written by a teenage girl, published 200 years ago. What do a volcanic explosion, the frequency of sunspots, the discovery of galvanism, the two greatest poets of the Romantic era, an early feminist pioneer, and a premature birth have to do with this story, and what does it continue to tell us about the role of science in society and the obligations of those who perform fundamental research?
