What do Smithsonian's Undersecretary of Science and Research and one of this generation's most prominent planetary scientists Dr. Ellen Stofan, and world-renowned curator of painting and sculpture at the National Portrait Gallery Dr. Dorothy Moss, have in common? They both think deeply about timeless, big questions like what it means to be human and how we want to live. Come hear their thoughts and engage with them on these and other topics at the second of a new Salon Series on February 23 at 6:30pm in the magical setting of Studiolab RD, a unique artist studio-creative hub nestled in one of the historic row houses of Georgetown, Washington, DC.
Created and moderated by Studiolab RD founder, proprietor and artist Robin Davisson, someone who has been immersed in both the worlds of science and art herself, this Salon Series is part of her new efforts to build community and connection in Washington, DC and beyond through intimate, searching conversation that connects the dots between seemingly disparate realms.
With a unique alchemy of thoughtfully curated guests/topics, a warm and lowkey setting perfect for people to really listen to each other, and un-fussy food/drink, the Series promises to be stirring, spirited and surprising. We hope you'll join us!
Guests:
Dr. Ellen Stofan — Undersecretary of Science and Research, Smithsonian Institution
Dr. Dorothy Moss — Curator of Painting and Sculpture, National Portrait Gallery
