Dear Eric,

Join us on February 4, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. for a conversation with Dr. Mae C. Jemison the first woman of color in space, national science literacy ambassador, advocate for racial leaps in knowledge, technology, design and thinking on Earth and beyond.

Now, Dr. Jemison leads the 100 Year Starship (100YSS), a bold, far reaching nonprofit initiative to assure the capabilities exist for human travel beyond our solar system to another star within the next 100 years. Jemison is building a multi-faceted global community to foster the cultural, scientific, social and technical commitment, support and financial framework to accomplish the 100YSS vision. The 100YSS Way Research Institute seeks to generate the radical leaps that accelerate knowledge, technology, design, and thinking not just for space travel, but to enhance life on Earth. Jemison led the team that won the competitive, single awardee seed funding grant in February 2012 from premiere research agency DARPA.

Jemison started The Jemison Group, Inc. (JG) a technology consulting firm integrating critical socio-cultural issues into the design of engineering and science projects, such as satellite technology for health care delivery and solar dish Stirling engine electricity in developing countries. JG researches and develops stand-alone science and technology companies. An Environmental Studies professor at Dartmouth College, Jemison worked on sustainable development and technology design particularly for the developing world.
