Truth Values: One Girl's Romp Through M.I.T's Male Math Maze

[GWIP OSU]

Hello everyone

The graduate women in physics want to take a moment to advertise an
exciting event that is coming to campus in just a few weeks.

The Ohio State University Presents
TRUTH VALUES: One girl's romp through M.I.T.'s male math maze
Thursday, October 4th
7:00pm at the Drake Performance and Event Center (Thurber Theatre)

*"Created as a response to former Harvard President Lawrence Summers’ now
infamous suggestion that women are less represented than men in the
sciences because of innate gender differences, Truth Values: One Girl’s
Romp Through M.I.T.’s Male Math Maze is a true-life tale that offers a
humorous, scathing, insightful and ultimately uplifting look at the
challenges of being a professional woman in a male-dominated field.
Writer/performer and “recovering mathematician” Gioia De Cari brings to
life more than 30 characters in a hilarious and deeply touching performance
that has earned raves from critics and stirred audiences to standing
ovations."*

Tickets are *FREE* for students (with your BuckID) and $5 for Faculty,
Staff and the general public

You can pick up tickets in advance at the Drake Performance and Event
Center Box Office.

The university wants to use this event as a spring-board for discussion of
gender issues in math, engineering, and science, and across campus in
general.  This event is designed for *EVERYONE*.  This is an important
issue that impacts the lives of both women and men in the sciences and
engineering and we encourage students, faculty and staff of all ages and
genders to attend this show!  It will be immediately followed by panel
discussion with Gioia De Cari and scientists and professionals from all
different backgrounds.

See the attached flier for more ticket information.
