Description
Renowned astronomer Maggie Hill is giving a lecture about her career, to inspire young women to work in science.

A new comic about legacy, loss, human curiosity and the economics of failure -- adapted by illustrator Lizzy Stewart and writer Molly Naylor from Naylor's play of the same name.
