La metà femminile della scienza"

Nicolas Witkowski

Traduzione di Alessandro Serra e Chiara Tartarini

Alla scoperta della metà femminile della scienza.

Contenuto -"Le donne menzionate nella storia della scienza, interamente scritta da uomini, si contano sulle dita di due mani. Nel tentativo di far emergere la componente femminile della scienza, Nicolas Witkowski ha incontrato non poche difficoltà: «per scrivere questo libro ho dovuto procedere a indagini delicate, rimbalzando da una biografia tronca a una nota criptata, e soprattutto rimuovere dai ritratti che sono riuscito a riportare alla luce la polvere di sufficienza maschile che i secoli vi avevano deposto».
Dalla donna di Cro-Magnon a Dian Fossey, passando per Émile du Châtelet e Ada Lovelace, le eroine qui descritte rappresentano l'ignota onnipresenza delle donne nel cuore della scienza, a dispetto del mito sessista che le vuole geneticamente incapaci di rigore logico e di astrazione. Senza essere un pamphlet femminista, ma nemmeno una paternalistica valutazione sull'apporto scientifico delle donne, questa galleria di ritratti ci invita alla scoperta della metà femminile della scienza"

 

L'Autore - Nicolas Witkowski, fisico, autore di numerose opere e articoli sulla storia della scienza, in Italia ha pubblicato La vasca di Archimede (Cortina, Milano 1998) e Storia sentimentale della scienza (Cortina, Milano 1998 e 2003).

 

Recensione- "La prima donna di scienza fu Ipazia di Alessandria nel quarto secolo: fatta a pezzi da monaci cristiani. Poi vennero le streghe: mandate al rogo. Infine ecco le loro nipoti alle prese con un'istituzione esclusiva quanto misogina. In un libro la storia delle loro sconfitte (ingiuste) e delle vittorie (troppo poche)."
(Natalia Aspesi, la Repubblica, 03/02/2008)

IBIOCAT Science&Art- JULIAN VOSS-ANDREAE: former Quantum Physicist, now Science-Artist

Julian Voss-Andreae, a former Quantum Physicist who now works as a sculptor in Portland (Oregon), seeks to integrate the molecular sciences with the visual arts. Despite his background, much of Voss-Andreae's work is inspired by molecular structures. He graduated  from  the Pacific Northwest College of Art in 2004.  While still in Art College, he developed a novel kind of sculpture based on the structure of proteins, the building blocks of life. One of his latest piece is a metre-and-a-half tall sculpture of an ion channel, commissioned by Roderick MacKinnon of Rockefeller University in New York, who shared a Nobel prize for

elucidating its structure. As a graduate student at the University of Vienna, he was one of the team led by Anton Zeilinger that conducted a ground-breaking experiment in quantum mechanics in 1999. Quantum physics describes a moving object as consisting of waves oriented perpendicular to its direction of motion. Drawing inspiration from that aspect of nature, Julian Voss-Andreae has created an image of a walking human as a quantum object, Quantum Man (2006). Made up of thin, vertically oriented steel sheets representing those waves, the 2.50 m tall sculpture is a metaphor for the counter-intuitive world of quantum physics. Symbolizing the dual nature of matter with the appearance of classical reality on the surface and cloudy quantum behavior underneath, the sculpture seems to consist of solid steel when seen from the front, but dissolves into almost nothing when seen from the side, as light shines through the spaces between the slabs. "It shows that when you look at things from a different perspective, they can look extremely different," says Anton Zeilinger, physicist at the University of Vienna and Voss-Andreae's former group leader. "That's part of the quantum message".
