DrmDoc Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) How well do you know the contributions of these famous female scientist: Marie Curie (1867-1934) Lisa Mietner (1878-1968) Barbara McClintock (1902-1992) Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958) Jane Goodall (1934-Present) Well, if you don't, here's a Life Noggin YouTube video I recently discovered recounting some of their contributions. I knew a great deal about Madame Curie and Jane Goodall, but not so much about the other three extraordinary women. Enjoy! Edited August 9, 2016 by DrmDoc

Curie was one of my science heroes as a child and I've read a fair bit about Franklin. 1
DrmDoc Posted August 9, 2016 Author Posted August 9, 2016 Curie was one of my science heroes as a child and I've read a fair bit about Franklin. Indeed, they are all very worthy of our admiration.
DrmDoc Posted August 9, 2016 Author Posted August 9, 2016 Don't forget Dr. Grace Hopper! Post her link here so we may come to know her contributions better.
MigL Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 My vote still goes to Emmy Noether. Held in high regard by Hilbert, Klein, Einstein and Weyl. Her mathematical work has guided modern physics for the last century. Unfortunately she died young and only became an actual professor when she moved to the US in the 30s. 1

I think we all would welcome a link exploring her contributions also. I invite everyone to post a link here to those female scientists whose contributions we should all know better.
