L'Huillier is the first female laureate to receive 1/3 of monetary award of the Nobel Prize in Physics (Curie, Goeppert–Mayer, Strickland and Ghez received 1/4). Physicists and physicochemists that won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry include Marie Curie, [ 9 ] Irène Joliot-Curie , daughter of Marie Curie, in 1935, [ 10 ] and Dorothy Hodgkin in ...
While the timeline primarily focuses on women involved with natural sciences such as astronomy, biology, chemistry and physics, it also includes women from the social sciences (e.g. sociology, psychology) and the formal sciences (e.g. mathematics, computer science), as well as notable science educators and medical scientists. The chronological ...
For example, men show a greater likelihood of being selected for an employment position than a woman. [150] In Europe and North America, the number of female graduates in engineering, physics, mathematics and computer science is generally low. Women make up just 19% of engineers in Canada, Germany and the US and 22% in Finland, for example.
Julia Lermontova (1846–1919), Russian chemist, first Russian female doctorate in chemistry; Laura Linton (1853–1915), American chemist, teacher, and physician; Rachel Lloyd (1839–1900), First American female to earn a doctorate in chemistry, first regularly admitted female member of the American Chemical Society, studied sugar beets
Filmmaker Maggie Contreras' new film "Maestra" follows a cadre of female conductors with dreams of winning La Maestra, the first international conducting competition solely for women.
INTERVIEW: Nigella Lawson is a superfan and Brie Larson was desperate to adapt her book, ‘Lessons in Chemistry’. Bonnie Garmus tells Katie Rosseinsky about how sexism inspired her hit debut ...
The electrical resistivity of a metallic conductor decreases gradually as temperature is lowered. In normal (that is, non-superconducting) conductors, such as copper or silver, this decrease is limited by impurities and other defects. Even near absolute zero, a real sample of a normal conductor shows some resistance. In a superconductor, the ...
Oksana Lyniv, Speranza Scappucci, Marin Alsop and Xian Zhang filled their lockers in the guest conductors’ dressing room off the Metropolitan Opera’s orchestra pit. “Maybe I’ll say it ...
