The event, titled "The Possibilities: On Weaving Science into Fiction," will take place at the prestigious Dabney Lounge (Building #40) on Caltech's campus. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear Goldstein-Love read from her latest novel and participate in a thought-provoking conversation with novelist and creative writing lecturer, Edan Lepucki.

During the event, Goldstein-Love will delve into the fascinating intersection of science fiction and motherhood, as she discusses how this genre provided her with the perfect metaphorical framework to capture the psychological journey of becoming a mother. She will also share insights into her creative process, highlighting her careful balance of incorporating physics and neuroscience into the narrative, ensuring that they serve the story rather than overpower it. Notably, Goldstein-Love will touch upon her decision to utilize a many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, rather than a hidden variables model, revealing the challenges she faced in shaping her novel.

This enlightening event, which promises to be intellectually stimulating and engaging, is open to the public and admission is free.
