Happy birthday to #physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968) who explained #nuclear #fission. She worked with chemists Hahn & Straßmann in 30s Berlin, investigating whether there were any stable elements beyond uranium. They discovered bombarding nucleus of U-235 with neutrons actually triggered it to fission, or break, into 2 nuclei of roughly half the size & some free neutrons! Hahn’s chemistry lead to startling discovery of barium,🧵

This is Elisabeth Wollman (1888-1943). Her life was extraordinary & her legacy is phenomenal.
In collaboration with her husband, Eugène, she was a pioneer of what became molecular genetics. This pic is her Pasteur Institute portrait from the early 1920s.
Their groundbreaking work was carried on by a colleague & their son, leading to a Nobel prize & more.
CW: The Wollmans' lives were ended in Auschwitz.
I've just created her Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisabeth_Wollman
