ENGLAND, FRANCE, SWITZERLAND, AMSTERDAM

Join us on European adventure as we explore the lives of groundbreaking scientists who defied societal norms and shattered scientific barriers. Discover Europe's rich scientific heritage and the inspiring stories of women and men who overcame adversity, made groundbreaking discoveries, and paved the way for future generations. In addition to learning from historical figures, we will hear from diverse modern-day scientists and their advice for success. Women, men, and couples are encouraged to apply! This study abroad will take you through several European countries: United Kingdom (London, Oxford, Cambridge, Lyme Regis), France (Paris, Bayeaux, Mont Saint-Michel, Annecy, Chamonix), Switzerland (Geneva), and the Netherlands (Amsterdam, Delft). Highlights of the experience include visiting King’s College in London to learn about Rosalind Franklin and her X-ray diffraction images leading to deciphering of the DNA structure; hunting for fossils on England’s Jurassic Coast; visiting Marie Curie’s laboratory in Paris; touring CERN, the organization for particle research near Geneva; and visiting the Micropia Museum in Amsterdam, all while exploring the culture and history of these four countries. We will also visit memorials, museums, and enjoy local sites, food, and cultural events.
