A virtual panel discussion celebrating Women’s History Month, co-presented by Broad Institute's Art/Science Connection and Catalyst Conversations

Inspired by Amanda Gorman’s Inaugural Poem, in celebration of Women’s History Month (March), and in anticipation of National Poetry Month (April), Catalyst Conversations and Broad Institute’s Art/Science Connection were pleased to present this panel discussion, bringing together poetry and science in conversation. The poets and Broad researchers explored how their respective practices express and bring into relief the desire to make something that does not exist yet, something we want to see in the universe, a measure of a moment.
