Jewish Women Scientists Around
the World
The Jewish Women in Science Exhibit is available as
a nationally traveling exhibit, and can be displayed in your
local JCC or synagogue, school or museum. It is based on the
Hadassah-Brandeis Institute’s 2003-2004 Jewish Women
Scientists Around the World wall calendar. This exhibit features
pioneering and promising women scientists, including women
from the United States, Europe, Israel, South Africa and Turkey.
Some of these accomplished female scientists are MIT's physicist
Mildred Dresselhaus and computer scientist Shafira Goldwasser.
It illustrates the broad range of Jewish Women’s professional
activities and discusses the makers of major discoveries.
The exhibit is composed of 18 enlarged original art graphics (from the calendar itself) of prominent local women scientists. These photographs were taken by Newton photographer Georgia Litwack, one of New England's foremost chroniclers of leading women in the arts and science. For more information, or to reserve the exhibit for your organization please contact the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute at 781-736-2064, or via e-mail at hbi@brandeis.edu |
