Science Day: Iain Mattaj reveals the new HT space for Eva Mameli Calvino
To celebrate World Science Day, HT Director Iain Mattaj shares the new space on HT Campus dedicated to Eva Mameli Calvino, the first female Professor of Botany in Italy.
She dedicated her life to the study of plants, including their genetics, and she imported the first palms trees, kiwis and grapefruits to the country.
The space has been named thanks to the students of class 3 A of Istituto A. Rizzoli from Pregnana Milanese, who won the #RememberMyName Special Prize as part of the “A City of MIND” school competition, promoted by Fondazione Triulza.
The #RememberMyName campaign was launched in March 2020 to shed light on the discoveries and revolutionary ideas of lesser-known scientists, who dedicated their life to knowledge and research to improve our understanding of the world and – ultimately – our way of living.
