SUMMARY:Science on Screen®: HIDDEN FIGURES - Black Women Bending Space and Time - with special guest Dr. Moiya McTier
DESCRIPTION:HIDDEN FIGURES\nwith extended introduction by special guest\nDr. Moiya McTier\nPart of the SCIENCE ON SCREEN®  Series\nAn initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theater in partnership with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation \n\n\nHIDDEN FIGURES\nTheodore Melfi\, 2016\, 127 min\nWith: Taraji P. Henson\, Octavia Spencer\, Janelle Monáe\, Kevin Costner \nBefore rockets could break the sound barrier\, Black women mathematicians were already bending space and time. Hidden Figures follows the behind-the-scenes race to launch astronaut John Glenn into orbit\, powered by the extraordinary work and forgotten brilliance of Katherine Johnson\, Dorothy Vaughan\, and Mary Jackson. As NASA hurtles toward the Space Age in the late 50s and 60s\, orbital mechanics\, hand-calculated trajectories\, and razor-sharp math become tools of both scientific triumph and social change. \nAstrophysicist Dr. Moiya McTier will introduce the film and speak about these first Black women who made waves in their fields\, and\, more importantly\, about those who followed. This introduction will serve as an epilogue to the film\, celebrating the brilliant women who were able to follow on the lightly trodden paths of Mary Jackson\, Dorothy Vaughan\, and Katherine Johnson. \nGuest Speaker: Dr. Moiya McTier \nDr. Moiya McTier is an astrophysicist\, science communicator\, and folklorist\, described as a “folklorist to the stars\, and astrophysicist to the folks.” Sitting at the intersection of science and storytelling\, fact and fiction\, complex concepts and chaotic creativity\, she is known for her sharp wit and infectious enthusiasm\, connecting complex science to history\, race\, and the joy of discovery. \n\n\n\n\n\nTickets: (including $5 Symphony Space Facility Fee added at checkout)\n$12/adult\n$10/seniors & students\n$8/Community partner with code \nBUY TICKETS HERE \nThis program is supported\, in part\, by public funds from the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) in partnership with the City Council and the office of NY City Councilperson Shaun Abreu. \nWith the support of Thomas Campbell Jackson and the Brandt Jackson Foundation. \n\nCo-sponsors: BAiP\, LiLY\, W. 90s Neighborhood Assn.\, W. 102nd & 103rd Streets Block Assn.\, W. 104th St. Block Assn.
