International Women’s Day

[dimreepr]

 

 

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.

Marie Curie. I could tell you why, but I could never do it any better than Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
