Take a look at 17 of the best female scientists up to (and including) 2017. And let’s hope these ladies don’t remain hidden too much longer. 1. Tiera Guinn. This 21-year-old scientist hasn’t yet graduated from college, but Tiera Guinn’s already doing literal rocket science.

2 天之前 · Growing up in a country where the first scientist to win a Nobel Prize was a woman may have made it a little easier to pursue science. Throughout my education, I never heard anyone say, “Girls can’t do math” or “Girls can’t do science.” Knowing how much Maria Skłodowska-Curie achieved became a driving force in my education and career.

2019年12月13日 · Women have made major contributions to the sciences for centuries. Yet surveys repeatedly show that most people can only name a few—often just one or two—female scientists. But if you look around, you'll see evidence of their work everywhere, from the clothing we wear to the X-rays used in hospitals.

2024年11月18日 · The most famous female scientists were trailblazers who made their marks in physics, chemistry, and space flight and paved the way for the generations of women who followed in their footsteps. Meet a few of them.

History is full of women who made enormous contributions to science. Some of them are rightfully well-known, like Marie Curie, Ada Lovelace and Rosalind Franklin. But others, like fossil hunter Mary Anning and NASA pioneer Katherine Johnson, aren't such household names.

2023年3月15日 · Throughout history, women in science have not only navigated but also challenged the turbulent waters of gender bias. They contributed groundbreaking work that has fundamentally reshaped our understanding of the world.

2025年1月14日 · Discover groundbreaking female scientists like Marie Curie, Rosalind Franklin, and Jane Goodall. And how their discoveries revolutionised science, inspired generations, and shaped the world.

This is a list of notable women scientists active in the 21st century. Naomi McClure-Griffiths (born 1975), American-Australian astrophysicist. Discovered a new arm of the Milky Way galaxy. Elisa Molinari, Italian physicist working on computational materials science and nanotechnologies, recognized "Fellow" of the American Physical Society.

Women scientists “who should be famous (or more famous)” implies a certain level of obscurity. Yet each of the women presented here (in no particular order) made groundbreaking, insightful, or novel contributions to science.
