ĊineXjenza: Radioactive

Date and Time:
Tuesday 15th February 2022, 7pm

Women have always been disregarded in the scientific world, with lack of opportunities and recognition for their scientific discoveries. Countless women have fought for their voices to be heard to get to where we are nowadays. In honour of such brave women, S-Cubed in Collaboration with the Malta Chamber of Scientists, STEAM and Spazju Kreattiv will be screening “Radioactive” as part of CineXjenza. Marie Curie, a two-time Nobel Prize Winner, overcomes sexism in the 1900s, and in doing so, stumbles upon a new element known as Radium. Her discovery eventually leads to the Theory of Radioactivity contributing to advances in instrumentation, medicine, and energy production. A discussion with the aim of encouraging women in science will be held after the screening.
