In-person (Washington, DC) and Virtual

The history of science often highlights “eureka” moments, that sudden flash of insight when discovery strikes. But real discovery doesn’t happen in isolation. It emerges from years of research, from histories we recover, from failures and collaborations and quiet persistence. What actually happens in the moment of understanding, and what does it mean for the people who experience it? Join DoSER for an evening exploring how discovery unfolds and how we make meaning from it.
