Through the theatrical presentation of “Pursuit of Discovery,” Professor Anna Frebel, Division Head of Astrophysics at MIT, will bring this groundbreaking discovery to life with her portrayal of Lise Meitner. Following the 25-minute living history performance, Frebel will discuss her own research on ancient stars and the cosmic origins of heavy elements like gold and silver.
