11F CineScience

International Day of Women and Girls in Science

El Enigma Agustina

February 11, 2020 · Manchester

The SRUK Northwest constituency is pleased to invite you to our next CineScience event. In this occasion, we are celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science with the projection of the film El Enigma Agustina.

Join us on the screening of this film, where we will follow the adventures of a History PhD student who is trying to solve the enigma of Agustina Ruiz Dupont. Who was she? Why was her PhD thesis hidden in a lost palace in Spain? Why did Albert Einstein and Marie Curie write letters to her? And more importantly, why was she erased from History? Her research will lead us through the most relevant scientific achievement in Europe in the first decades of the 20th century.

The film screening will be followed by a discussion with Dr Laura Martinez (Lecturer in Physics at The University of Salford) and Dr Laura Castañar (Research Fellow in Chemistry at The University of Manchester) about the role of Women in Science.

The SRUK Northwest CineScience series is sponsored by Fundación Ramon Areces and Instituto Cervantes Manchester.
The film production was supported by the Science and Technology Spanish foundation (FECYT) and the Astrophysics Institute of Andalucia (IAA-CSIC).
