Holmes Hall, Room C106, Michigan State University, East Lansing
The Fountain of Youth may have just been discovered, not in a Florida
spring, but in a murky Australian pond. Far from myth, the findings of Nobel
Prize-winning scientist Elizabeth Blackburn, an enzyme that can keep cells
young, may just prove to be the key to immortality. Smithsonian Channel
sheds light on the groundbreaking work being performed by remarkable female
minds from around the globe. Join us for this free screening of "Decoding
Immortality," as part of the Smithsonian Channel's month-long celebration of
WOMEN IN SCIENCE.
