Transgressing boundaries - Erwin Schrödinger and the challenges of scientific biography
Date: June 29, 2026
Description: CECAM and MARVEL present a new event in our Mary Ann Mansigh Conversation series. In a discussion with Dr Magdalena Gronau, chemist, and Martin Gronau, classicist and scholar of ancient studies, both at the Leibniz Centre for Literary and Cultural Research in Berlin, drawing on previously unexamined sources, we will reassess the controversy surrounding Erwin Schrödinger's private relationships and offer a new perspective on his complex personal life, taking into account the viewpoints of his female partners, whose voices have remained largely unheard.
