Contributing important, often groundbreaking discoveries to the natural and social sciences, they were geologists, physicists, inventors, engineers, medical researchers, anthropologists, biologists, and more. Colllectively attaining many firsts--first to capture a clear picture of DNA, first person to win two Nobel prizes, first female university professor--they received many nationa and international awards for their work. This third deck in the "Who Was She?" series will enrich your scientific knowledge and perhaps move you to explore new worlds.
