After working with Hahn and investigating behavior of beta rays, she received an appointment in the radioactivity apartment and invited Meitner to join him.
Soon after, Max Planck asked Meitner to be an assistant professor and lecture at the institute for theoretical physics.
Meitner was the first woman in Germany to be in her position.
Many news reporters were drawn to her opening lecture.
Chien-Shiung Wu (; May 31, 1912 – February 16, 1997) was a Chinese-American particle and experimental physicist.
Wu was born in May 1912 in Liuhe, a small town near Shanghai.
Wu Zhongyi, her father, participated in the 1911 revolution against the Chinese Manchu dynasty.
He was the founder of an all girls’ school in China.
Educating girls wasn’t seen as important at that time.
Wu went to that school until she was nine.
After that, she went to the Soochow Girls’ School.
She graduated in 1930.
She was the best student in her class.
Wu went to college at Nanjing University.
She studied physics there.
She graduated in 1934.
She spent one year teaching in a university.
A year later, she went to study X-ray crystallography, which is the study of crystals.
She did so at the National Academy of Sciences in Shanghai.
A woman scientist who she worked with told her to go to study in the United States.
She said this because China didn’t have a very good physics program.
With the help of her rich uncle, she sailed to America in 1936.
Wu started working on nuclear physics with a particle physicist named Ernest Livermore.
She helped Emilio Segre.
He won a Nobel Prize years later.
During the same time, Japan invaded China.
She didn’t hear from her family for years.
Wu also studied the electromagnetic energy a particle gives off when it slows down.
She also studied what happens when a uranium nucleus splits.
For her work, she got a PhD in 1940.
She became known as an expert on fission, which is the splitting of atoms.
She studied theories about atoms developed by Enrico Fermi.
She ended up confirming one of his theories.
Wu continued with her work in physics in her later career.
She faced a difficult hypothesis involving beta decay in 1963.
Beta Decay was discovered by Richard Feynman and Murray Gell-Mann.
Disproving Parity
Chien-Shiung Wu helped overthrow the law of conservation of parity along with Tsung Dao Lee and Chen Wing Yang.
For 30 years, parity was a universal law.
The theory states that parity was when an event and its reflection were the same.
Scientist believed that the conservation of parity applied to all events.
Chien-Shiung Wu helped to disprove this theory.
She found this when studying the electrons at a low temperature.
Wu did most of the work.
The Nobel Prize committee did not acknowledge her.
They did recognize her two male partners who won the award.
Many considered Wu's work on Fermi’s theory worthy of a Nobel prize.
Her work was important but did not qualify for the prize.
The two scientist she worked with on the theory about parity won a prize and she did not.
People believed her work was not original.
She became the first woman to be the president of the American Physical Society.
She was the first woman to receive the Comstock Award from the National Academy of Sciences.
She was also the first woman to receive the Research Corporation Award.
She received honorary degrees from over a dozen universities.
Yale, Princeton and Harvard were some of the universities that recognized her work.
Princeton gave her an honorary doctorate of science.
She became the first woman to ever receive that.
Wu married Luke Yuan in 1942.
She taught at Smith College in Massachusetts.
After that, she taught at Princeton.
In 1944, she was recruited to do top-secret work on radiation detectors for the atomic bomb project called the Manhattan Project at Columbia University.
She worked in a secret facility.
After World War II, Wu heard back from her family.
They had all survived.
Wu retired in 1981.
She died of a stroke on February 16, 1997, in New York.
Her ashes were buried in the courtyard of her father's school.
Wu was an inspiration and a trailblazer.
She didn’t let racism or sexism put her down.
She kept working hard.
She made some amazing discoveries.
Her work wasn’t credited with a Nobel Prize but she made a huge impact on the world's knowledge of fission and quantum physics.

Vera Cooper Rubin (July 23, 1928  December 25, 2016) was an American astronomer.
She discovered dark matter
Rubin was born on July 23, 1928.
Her parents were Rose Applebaum and Phillip Cooper.
At age 10, Rubin became fascinated by the stars in her home, Washington, D.C. At age 14, she built her first telescope.
Rubin attended Vassar College where she earned her B.A. in 1948.
She earned her M.A. at Cornell University in 1951.
She received her Ph.D. in astronomy at Georgetown University.
At Cornell her thesis studied evidence of bulk rotation in the universe.
Rubin taught at Georgetown before becoming a researcher at the Carnegie Institution of Science.
She spent a year as a teacher in math and physics at Montgomery County Junior College.
She contributed to newspapers.
She was an associated editor of the Astronomical Journal and the editorial board of Science Magazine.
Rubin was on the astronomical committee at Harvard University and at the National Academy of Sciences.
Rubin was an American astronomer who discovered dark matter.
Dark matter is a material in the universe that does not reflect light.
She and W. Kent Ford found that the stars closest to the center of the galaxy and the stars farthest from the center of the galaxy moved at the same rate.
Their findings said that mass astronomers could see only 10 percent of the galaxy's total mass.
This makes dark matter invisible.
Rubin joined the council of American Women in Science in 1984 to promote women in astronomy.
Rubin was given honorary degrees from Creighton University, Harvard University, and Yale University.
She won the National Medal of Sciences in 1993.
Rubin was married to Robert Rubin, a physicist.
She wrote a children's book on astronomy to encourage young girls to study science.
Rubin had four children named David, Allan, Judith, and Carl.
Her children all became scientists.
Hypatia (hy-PAY-shee-uh) of Alexandria was a mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher.
She lived around 370 - 415 C.E. Hypatia was the first noted women in mathematics, philosophy, and astronomy.
She lead a philosophical movement called Neoplatonism.
Neoplatonism was developed from the ideas of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato.
Hypatia was born in Alexandria, a city in Egypt.
During Hypatia’s time, Egypt was a great place for learning.
Her father was also a mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher, so she had it in her blood line.
Her father was Theon.
Hypatia and her father worked on commentaries of Ptolemy's work together.
Ptolemy was a Greek astronomer who was from Alexandria.
Hypatia's name was also put on work done by other mathematicians.
The Museum of Alexandria was a more like a university and library than a museum.
It played a big role in education, and Hypatia’s life.
Theon may have been the director of the museum at one point.
Theon was interested in mathematics.
This may have led Hypatia to pursue astronomy, mathematics, and philosophy.
Her skills were so notable, that she became the leader of the Neoplatonism movement in Alexandria around 400.
Her reputation led students from all around the world to come visit here.
She was recognized as a better philosopher than most of the men during her time.
Hypatia gave lectures at her house and in lecture halls.
She lectured on astronomy, mathematics, philosophy, and religious literature.
She wrote a number of books about mathematics.
Synesius of Cyrene was a student of Hypatia.
His letters provided some of the most important information on her life and her teachings.
She taught Synesius about the building of an astrolabe.
Hypatia was never married because she said she was “wedded to the truth”.
She was an acquaintance of Orestes.
He was the pagan governor of Alexandria.
Radical monks murdered her.
They possibly murdered her because the pagans seemed to have caused enmity among the mainly Christian town.
They persecuted her, and scattered her body parts around the city.
She died at 45 years old, in 415 C.E.
Ada E. Yonath, Hebrew: עדה יונת , (born June 22, 1939) is an Israeli crystallographer.
She received the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry together with Thomas A. Steitz and Venkatraman Ramakrishnan for studies of the structure and function of the ribosome.
She was born in the Geula quarter of Jerusalem.

Her work showed the function of ribosomes.
Yonath worked at Carnegie-Mellon University and MIT for several years.
She stayed as Weizmann Institute for the rest of her career.
Ada Yonath is an Israeli chemist who made pictures of ribosomes using X-ray Crystallography.
Ribosomes are the part of cells in the human body that put together proteins.
X-ray Crystallography makes pictures of molecules by bunching them into crystals.
This method is only used to make models of single atoms.
Yonath used this methods to crystallize ribosomes although they are made of many atoms and proteins.
This made her work very difficult.
She returned to the Weizmann Institute of Science in 1970.
She started the first Protein Crystallography lab in Israel.
She did research at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin, Germany from 1979 to 1984.
She began trying to make ribosomes into crystals in 1970.
She won the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and Thomas Steitz.
This Nobel prize was for her work in making images of ribosomes.
She studied Molecular Genetics in Berlin, Germany, before winning the Nobel prize.

It is now called the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences.
Work and Discoveries
In 1969, China was having a cultural revolution against Western ideas.
This means that many schools, colleges, and research centers were closed.
Tu was assigned to a secret project that was to find the cure for Malaria during this time.
Malaria was killing American and Vietnamese soldiers in Vietnam before the treatment was found.
She studied traditional Chinese medicinal ancient text.
She was trying to find an herbal treatment.
The text they read gave information about a medicinal plant, Qinghao.
Qinghao is also known as sweet wormwood.
Tu and two other scientists found a part of the plant that helped treat Malaria.
This was made into a drug that stopped and treated the disease in millions of people.
This drug was called artemisinin.

Mary Somerville was a Scottish science writer and a polymath.
She was also famous for supporting more education for women and supporting more civil rights for women.
Somerville was born on December 26, 1780, in Jedburgh, Scotland.
She was the fifth of seven children.
She was one of three who lived to be adults.
Her father, William George Fairfax, was a vice-admiral in the Royal Navy.
He would go on long trips away.
Somerville's mother didn't try to educate her daughters; she thought that all girls needed to know was how to cook and clean.
When Somerville wasn't doing household chores, she would often go to the seaside and the moors.
When Somerville's father came home, he discovered that his ten-year-old daughter could not read or write.
He sent her to a boarding school.
By her teenage years, Somerville had become interested in algebra.
Her parents got angry.
They told her not to study it - they worried that studying mathematical concepts would cause her physical and mental harm. "

She married Edvard Moser as a student of the University of Oslo in 1985.
They had two kids, Isabel and Ailin.
The Mosers were directors and coordinators of the Kavil Institute for systems Neuroscience and the Centre for Neural Computation at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology for many years, but they divorced in 2016.
Each earned a PhD in neurobiology in 1995.
She used rats as test subjects during her research because their nervous system is very similar to humans.
They discovered brain cells that allow animals to move from one place to another.
These are called grid cells, and they fire when the rats pass a certain location.
Over time, this helped the rats move purposely around the room and navigate their surroundings.
The Mosers won a Nobel Prize, an important award.
She won this award in 2014 and shared this with John O’Keefe, another neuroscientist.
They also won the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize.

KOERS.
Museum van de wielersport. (
till 2018 the Cycling Museum - WieMu) is a museum in the Belgian city of Roeselare.
The museum shows the history of the bicycle and cycling.
The museum started officially on 27 March 1998 at ‘Het Polenplein’, in the earlier fire-station.
The Cycling Museum was founded in 1985 as part of the earlier Municipal Museum of Roeselare.
The city of Roeselare took that decision because the region can be seen as ‘the cradle of the flandriens’.
A lot of flandriens and racing cyclists are born in the region.
The municipality proper has known a lot of popular racing cyclists for example Odiel Defraeye, the first Belgian winner of the Tour of France and several world-champions: Jean-Pierre Monseré, Benoni Beheyt, Patrick Sercu, Freddy Maertens… In the beginning, the museum only showed a few old bicycles and organised an exhibition in summer.
In 1998, they made the final decision to replace the old folkloristic museum for a real Cycling Museum, the National Cycling Museum.
Ferdy Callewaert was the first conservator till he retired in 2006.
Old-racing cyclist Freddy Maertens worked from 2000 till 2007 at the museum and he welcomed often the visitors.
In 2005 King Albert II visited the museum.
In 2010 the museum got the short name ‘WieMu’.
After a renovation, the museum re-opened on 8 September 2018.
The new name of the museum is "KOERS.
Museum van de wielersport".
At the museum, there are also the municipal touristic service and a pub.
The museum shows the history of bicycles from 1760 till now: all sorts of old bicycles and modern bicycles used for professional duties, leisure and sport.
In the beginning, that was the heart of the collection of the cycling museum.
After some years, the museum became more and more specialized in cycle-racing.
So the museum has a lot of racing-bicycles, cycling-trophies and -souvenirs, cycling-clothes, portraits of racing cyclists etc.
In one of the halls, you find a lot about the local world-champion Jean-Pierre Monseré, who lost his life as world-champion during a race in 1971.
Another hall shows an old workshop of bicycle-maker Hallaert where you can learn about the technical evolution of the bicycle.
The cycling museum has a documentationcentre about cycling with a lot of photos, old newspapers and (cycling-)magazines, programme brochures and cycling archives.
The museum publishes regular exhibition catalogues or books of exercises.
Since 2012 the museum publishes the cycling-historic magazine ‘Etappe’.
The museum ‘WieMu’ is in the earlier fire-station.
The station was built between 1899 and 1902.
Till 1962 it was a fire-station.
During World War I, German soldiers lived in the station.
On 21 July 1917, it was bombed by British aircrafts.
After the war it was rebuilt.
The building was also used for several public services such as a festive hall, a school, sportaccommodation and a folkloristic museum.
The building is now a classified monument and partly restored.
