EventsHemenway to Speak on “The Galileo Scandal” Warren, OH—As part of the St. Mary's / JFK Alumni Association’s Distinguished Alumni Lecture Series, Mary Kay (Meacham) Hemenway will lecturing on “The Galileo Scandal” at John F. Kennedy High School on Thurs., May 1 at 7:30 p.m. Her lecture will be based on one of her course offerings, which is appropriately titled “The Galileo Scandal.” According to Hemenway, Galileo, with his demonstration of the truth by means of astronomical discoveries, has been described as the man who “gave rise to the greatest scandal in Christendom.” His affair did not conclude with his condemnation by the church in 1633, but has been the subject of historians, scientist, poets, novelists, and playwrights for over 300 years. Her lecture will examine the evidence from various viewpoints to decide for ourselves the validity of the judgment against Galileo. Hemenway will take her audience through 400 years of astronomy and history through her multimedia presentation. The evening promises to be an entertaining and educational experience for people of all ages who has an interest in astronomy, history or specifically Galileo and his life. The lecture is free and open to the public. Hemenway, a senior lecturer and research associate with the University of Texas at Austin, is a St. Mary’s alumna of the Class of 1961 and the third lecturer in the Distinguished Alumni Lecture Series. After graduating from high school, Mary Kay received her bachelor of science degree in physics from Notre Dame College in Cleveland and her masters and Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Virginia. As an undergraduate and graduate student, she participated in summer research programs at the National Radio Astronomy, Royal Greenwich, Kitt Peak National and Lowell Observatories. With her education and vast experience, Hemenway started working at the University of Texas in 1974 and has remained ever since. During her tenure at the University of Texas, Hemenway has held numerous positions. Currently, she serves as the director for the educational services office of the astronomy department. This office provides support for all teaching aspects for the astronomy department, which enrolls about 4,000 students per year in astronomy courses. Hemenway also has extensive experience as a science education consultant with school districts and publishers. Hemenway also wrote a textbook, as well as many publications in both astronomy and astronomy education. In addition to her consulting and writing, Hemenway works with the education team for the McDonald Observatory, home of the third largest optical telescope in the world. Many of her federally funded grants have provided professional development experiences for K-12 teachers. For her service to astronomy and astronomy education, she was named an Honorary Member of the Science Teachers Association of Texas in 2000 and a member of the Texas Hall of Fame for Science, Mathematics, and Technology in 2003.
