March Into Spring and Women’s History Month!

Celebrate Women’s History Month with Dr. Nia Imara, noted astrophysicist and artist, as she talks about the interconnectedness of art and science. Dr. Imara is the first Black woman to earn her PhD in Astrophysics from the University of California Berkeley. After grad school, Nia did her postdoctoral research at Harvard’s Center for Astrophysics, and she is currently a professor of astronomy at UC Santa Cruz, where she investigates how stars are born in the Milky Way and other galaxies throughout the universe.

Dr. Imara is the founder and director of Onaketa, a nonprofit that provides free STEM tutoring and other educational resources to Black and Brown youth.

Exciting news: Julie Blinston, owner of San Ramon’s newest bookstore, The Quirky Crow Bookshop, accepted our invitation to bring copies of Dr. Imara’s book to the program. Price (including tax) is $27.38.

Once again, we are pleased to be partnering with the San Ramon Library to present this program to the community.
