Hello everyone A person accomplished with what I study that I admire is Lisa Meitner who contributed to the study of nuclear fission. She discovers a new radioactive isotope, and she was in the team that discovered nuclear fission. She was the second woman to have a doctor´s degree in Physics, she has to escape Germany in the Second World War. His breakthrough in nuclear physics paved the way for the creation of the first atomic bomb, other nuclear weapons, and later nuclear fission as energy. She doesn’t receive a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this advance but her collaborator yes, was 19 times nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and 29 for the Nobel Prize of Physics. We have a chemistry element with her name, the Meitnerium. She dies in 1968 in the United Kingdom, she was called the “German Marie Curie”. I admire Lisa because being a woman scientist in the time she lives was very difficult and this is already admirable. Although his greatest discovery can be se...
