The first event (event details and registration here) will happen May 31st at 7pm at the University Club, featuring a moderated conversation between Dr. Jennifer Wiseman, astronomer and Director of the Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Religion for the American Association for the Advancement of Science, as well as the Senior Project Scientist for the Hubble Space Telescope at NASA, and Dr. John Haught, Senior Fellow of Science & Religion at the Woodstock Theological Center of Georgetown University.  We will explore the topic, “What is our place in the Cosmos?”  This will be followed by a series of discussion dinners led by some of Advent’s very own scientists. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Would you care to elevate the culture quotient of your typical Saturday routine?  If your answer is “Oui, s’il vous plaît!”, then please join the Women of Rez on Saturday, June 2nd for the 2012 Museum Walk beginning at 2pm.

We’ll be touring both the National Geographic Museum and the Philips Collection and will finish our time together with some tasty fare and libations at the Darlington House.  Feel free to bring new friends along for the journey.  Admission is free for the day to both museums.

2:00pm: We’ll meet at the National Geographic Museum for “Titanic: 100 Year Obsession” where you can take a new look, from its historical beginnings to the latest research, at the ship that has captured the world’s imagination since it sank on April 15, 1912.  (We’ll gather at the Museum’s entry located at 1145 17th Street NW).

3:30pm: Next up, we’ll stroll towards Dupont Circle to tour The Phillips Collection, where we can view the Jasper Johns and Antony Gormley exhibitions as well as one of the world’s finest collections of modern and contemporary American and European art including Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s iconic Luncheon at the Boating Party, Jacob Lawrence’s epic Migration Series, and a chapel-like Rothko Room. (Address: 1600 21st Street NW).

5:00pm: Chances are, we’ll be a bit parched from all of the intellectual stimulation, so following the tours, we’ll meet at the Darlington House Cantina, so bring a little cash to grab a bite or something to toast the day with. (Address: 1610 20th Street NW, one block North of Dupont Circle).

If you have any questions or if you are struggling to find us along the way, don’t hesitate to email Cris so we will be sure to connect.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Allie Hines, Annie Mahr, Erin Duffy, Cris Logan, Kacy Wandel, Kaety Prentice, Laura Horton
