A DC Science Café Event:Versed in Science (& Math)
This event on 20th April 2015 at 18:30 has past.
Contact: DCScienceCafe@dcswa.org
Location: Cullen Room
Join us to hear the work of two accomplished poets, Rick Mullin and JoAnne Growney, and then read your own science-inspired poetry at the open mic. By day, Mullin is an editor with the weekly Chemical & Engineering News. By night, he is a bard, adopting a variety of poetic forms to tell the stories of his cultural heroes.
Mullin’s most recent collection, Sonnets from the Voyage of the Beagle, recounts the young Charles Darwin’s trek around the world in Petrarchan sonnets (sonnets with specified rhyme schemes) written as journal entries in Darwin’s voice.
Growney, a former professor at Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania, is a poet and mathematician who often explores where the twain of these pursuits meet in her blog “Intersections--Poetry with Mathematics.” Her poetry collections include Red Has No Reason and My Dance Is Mathematics.
