dimreepr Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) In recognition of International Women’s Day, I thought we could celebrate female scientists. Women who are influential in science (both historical and contemporary). I’ll start us off with Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin maybe not the most influential or famous but she did great work in astronomy and trod a path for others.
