It seems things a revving up for International Women’s Day on March 8, 2025. Strangely, neither the ‘Lost Women of Science’ organization announcement (although Women’s History Month March 2025 is noted) in my earlier March 6, 2025 posting nor this latest announcement from the Perimeter Institute (PI) for Theoretical Physics make mention of it .
A March 6, 2025 Perimeter Institute (PI) for Theoretical Physics (received via email) announces an event titled “Her Space, Her Time: How Trailblazing Women Scientists Decoded the Hidden Universe,” Note: The event takes place on March 12, 2025,
Her Space, Her Time: How Trailblazing Women Scientists Decoded the Hidden Universe
with Shohini Ghose
Wednesday, March 12 [2025] at 7:00 pm ET
Join us for a talk with Shohini Ghose, Professor of Physics at Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada, and CTO of the Quantum Algorithms Institute.
From the Big Bang to dark matter, women have been involved in the most groundbreaking discoveries about the cosmos. This talk will share the inspiring stories of these long-overlooked scientists who not only transformed our understanding of the universe, but also reshaped the rules of society.
Don’t miss out! Free tickets to attend this event in person will become available on Friday, March 7 [2025], at 9 am ET.
If you didn’t get tickets for the lecture, not to worry – you can always catch the livestream on our website or watch it on YouTube after the fact.
I have a few more details from the event registration page, Note: A link has been removed,

About the Speaker
Shohini Ghose is Professor of Physics at Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada, and CTO of the Quantum Algorithms Institute. She holds one of 5 federally funded Chairs for Women in Science and Engineering and serves on the national Quantum Advisory Council for Canada’s National Quantum Strategy. She is the recipient of several awards, including a TED Senior Fellowship and selection to the College of the Royal Society of Canada, and in 2019, was among 25 women scientists worldwide featured in a UNESCO exhibit in Paris. Her book, Her Space, Her Time, about unsung women scientists, won the Science Writers and Communicators of Canada 2023 Book Award.
Shohini Ghose was last mentioned here (briefly) in one of my posts about the report from the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) titled: ‘Quantum Potential’ (specifically the February 19, 2025 posting, ‘Quantum Potential, a report from the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) Part two of two: Comments on the report‘).
