Biotech Networks Scientific Speed Networking
2024-05-14 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Vancouver) | Lord Hobo Boston, 2 Drydock Avenue, Boston, MA, 02210, United States
The Biotech Networks 2024 US Tour is headed back to Boston May 14th during the CHI PEGS conference. We’ve chosen a new venue, Lord Hobo, which is very convenient to the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center in the new(er) Seaport area. Our Boston events are growing in size and we’ve outgrown our previous venue. We’ll have a full indoor buyout of Lord Hobo, with room to expand onto the patio.
We are also implementing a new tiered pricing structure to make our events more sustainable. The base registration is $35, with all those currently working in sales or as consultants (even sole proprietors) paying $60 to attend. We need this change to make sure the events are sustainable. The event is still an excellent deal for all, with a casual dinner, drink ticket, and our patent-pending Scientific Speed Networking™, where we take the work out of networking.

Harvard Book Store, the Harvard University Division of Science, the Harvard Library, and the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics welcome Anna Von Mertens—recipient of a 2010 United States Artists Fellowship in Visual Arts with previous exhibitions in Harvard University’s Radcliffe Institute and Berkeley Art Museum—for a discussion of her new book, Attention Is Discovery: The Life and Legacy of Astronomer Henrietta Leavitt. She will be joined in conversation by Alyssa Goodman—Robert Wheeler Willson Professor of Applied Astronomy at Harvard University.
Ticketing
There are two ticket options available for this event.
Free General Admission Ticket: Includes admission for one.
Book-Included Ticket: Includes admission for one and one hardcover copy of Attention Is Discovery.
About Attention Is Discovery
A portrait of trailblazing astronomer Henrietta Leavitt and an illustrated exploration of the power of attention in scientific observation, artistic creation, and the making of meaning.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, has a diameter of about 100,000 light years—a figure we can calculate because of the work of Henrietta Leavitt (1868–1921), who spent decades studying glass plate photographs of the night sky. Visual artist and researcher Anna Von Mertens’s Attention Is Discovery is a fascinating portrait of this remarkable woman who laid the foundation for modern cosmology, as well as an exploration of the power of looking and its revelatory role at the center of scientific discovery. Ushering us into the scientific community of women who worked alongside Leavitt, now known as the Harvard Computers, Von Mertens describes the inventive methodologies Leavitt devised to negotiate the era’s emerging photographic technology.
Interspersed with Von Mertens’s meticulously researched and lyrically written essays are collaborations with art historian Jennifer L. Roberts, cosmologist Wendy Freedman, astrophysicist João Alves, and novelist Rebecca Dinerstein Knight. Alongside Leavitt’s process, evident in her astronomical logbooks and ink notations on the glass plates, Von Mertens includes details of the hand-stitched quilts and graphite drawings she made in response to Leavitt’s legacy. Photographs made by Jennifer L. Roberts using a macro lens amplify the material richness of these artworks and archives. This interweaving of text and image engages and rewards the reader’s own close attention. Highlighting ways that subtle, repeated actions build meaning—whether skilled, technical observation, the crafting of an object, or the mundane tasks that construct our exquisite lives—Von Mertens’s pairing of close looking with close reading creates a layered portrait of Henrietta Leavitt that acknowledges the significance of her discovery and the richness of its inheritance.
