The Thayer Global Speaker Series brings thought leaders, innovators, and difference-makers to the Thayer campus
to engage the community in issues that matter to the world.
About the event
Journey with us to the stars as Dr. Sarah Stewart Johnson discusses her book, The Sirens of Mars, which interweaves a telling of the history of Martian exploration with her own journey as a planetary scientist. Dr. Joshua Bennett will also perform new poetry honoring Dr. Mae Jamison, a former NASA astronaut and the first Black woman to travel in space.
Then take a tour of the night sky in the portable planetarium, and get a chance to win stunning astrophotography by Upper School Science Faculty Jamison Smith.
