Description
Organized by the Technical Museum of Slovenia, Us & Them: Without Frontiers examines the fascinating scientific connections between Slovenia and the United States, and the benefits that have resulted from both cultural migration and shared knowledge. The project—which showcases original memorabilia as well as digital interactive tools—tells the compelling stories of individuals who have a strong, direct connection to the US, including Slovenian American astronaut Sunita Williams, Voyager engineer Anton Mavretič, professor of experimental physics Anton Peterlin, planet hunter Marija Strojnik, professor of electronics Aleš Strojnik, Silicon Valley pioneer France Rode, and inventor Peter Florjančič.
