The International Women’s Day is their day, and the D.I.V.E. of Los Angeles celebrated it with an exquisite dinner at the Skylight Gardens in Westwood, hosted by Miranda Barone. On this special occasion, the members’ monthly meeting was dedicated to the memory of a brilliant Italian woman: Margherita Hack (1922-2013).
Known as the “lady of the stars” - with reference to her research on cepheids, a type of variable stars -, the Italian astrophysicist and prolific author became very popular at home and abroad thanks to her ability to communicate science to the general public.
