Have you ever wondered if, while penning, The Modern Day Prometheus that Mary Shelley may have been inspired by Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell? Did Dr. Victor Frankenstein inspire Professor Frank Pantridge? Could she have ever imagined that she would be considered a pioneer, and quite possibly inspiring scores of women to write in a genre or pursue STEM careers that, in her time was dominated by men? Please join us to mix and mingle with STEM professionals and Science Fiction Writers. Stroll the exhibit floor meeting authors, artist, educators, and inventors. Sit in on panels moderated by today’s women of science and fiction as we attempt to answer a new take on an aged-old question:

Which came first, the science or the fiction?
