In addition to being the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne and the only person ever to have won Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry, Marie Curie welcomed other women into her lab. It was her lab from the untimely death of her husband, Pierre, in 1906, till her own death in 1934. She ran it, enlarged it, moved it into the imposing new Radium Institute, and peopled it with an international assembly of scientists, more than forty of whom were women, including her daughter Irène, the second woman to win a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

DARKROOM TO DATA is a symposium hosted by the Lens Media Lab featuring the lab’s research into the material history of black and white photography and providing a forum for our principal collaborations, including contributions from colleagues at the Center for Creative Photography, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. The theme of this work is “seeing at scale” through the creation and interpretation of datasets that surface patterns latent in photograph collections.

The Yale Quantum Institute and the Yale Library Digital Humanities Lab have partnered to create an educational application, at the intersection of art and science, where you would need to explore New Haven and the Yale Campus to find your (Schrödinger) cat, and learn about quantum science along the way! We invite you to be one of our very first app testers (we will have computers and tablets or you can bring your own laptop or phone) in the beautiful space of the DHLab.

Part of New Haven’s International Festival of Arts & Ideas

Please join us for the 2024 Pint of Science Festival! This is an annual global event, begun in 2013, that will take place all over the world from May 13-15, starting at 6:30 p.m. In the United States, the event will be held in Los Angeles, Houston, Philadelphia, Boston and New Haven.

Join the Kimball Smith Series for a moderated panel followed by small group discussions regarding quantum technologies and their relevance to international affairs.

The panel will feature Mark Ritter (Chair of Physical Science Council at IBM Research) and Robert Schoelkopf (Sterling Professor of Applied Physics and Professor of Physics; Director of Yale Quantum Institute). Both panelists are members of the U.S. National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee.
