https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym According to UIS data, less than 30% of the world’s researchers are women. Many times, the achievements of female scientists were discounted in their lifetime and their legacies have only been recognized posthumously. Here are 16 female scientists who have had to overcome huge obstacles and persevered and had a large and lasting impact on the history of science! You will get into a breakout room with a name of a female scientist. Make a padlet post putting the name of the scientist as the title. 1. What field of science did your scientist study? 2. Where is she from? 3. What accomplishments did she make in her field? 4. What were some challenges that she faced? 5. Add one more fact about this scientist, perhaps mention some accomplishments she has made in her career. 6. Read one other post and make a comment! https://www.sdsc.edu/ScienceWomen/ en-us 2021-03-01 18:18:38 UTC 2021-03-01 20:15:38 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f469-1f52c.png genevievedechary1 https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255178520 1. Her field of study was mathematics, she started off in chemistry, and then she found that she was much more interested in mathematics.
2. She was born on February 17, 1905, in Budapest, Hungary.
3. In her field she studied infinity and she wrote many books about her studies. She also had a position at Budapest Teachers College and graduated college.
4. When she had first graduated she could not get a job so she started tutoring. She made major contributions to mathematical theory but she did not receive much recognition. Also because she was a woman in science it was probably harder for her to be credited or get jobs and she was judged.
5. She worked for 18 years as a high school teacher trying to figure out what she wanted to do, then she found math. She was a major contributor to many theories.]]> 2021-03-01 19:44:20 UTC https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255178520 https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255180509 1. She studied math.
2. She was born in Erlangen, Germany.
3. She did a lot of things but one big thing she did was make a theorem about Einstien's relativity theory that is stilled called the Noether Theorem
4. One challenge she faced was because she was a woman she was not allowed to join the faculty at göttingen and did not get a salary.
5. Her dad and two of her three brothers were scientists.]]> 2021-03-01 19:44:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255180509 jacksonarrasin1_1 https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255180605 1. Rosa Eigenmann studied ichthyology
 2. She is from the city of Monmouth in Illinois
3. Eigenmann discovered and researched blind Goby.
4. One main challenge was being a woman at the time and having no background in Ichthysology.
5. Another notable accomplishment was that she was the first woman allowed to attend graduate-level classes at Harvard.]]> 2021-03-01 19:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255180605 edward_hackett https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255181300 1. Maria Goeppert-Mayer studied physics
2. She was born in Kattowitze, Germany but at the age of four, her father moved her family Göttingen.
3. Maria developed the nuclear shell model of atomic nuclei. She also calculated the probability that an electron orbiting an atom's nucleus would emit two photons of light as it jumped to an orbit closer to the nucleus.
4. A challenge she faced was that she couldn’t get a job that included pay. She had many jobs, but no pay. Her family had to depend on her husband who lost his job when she was pregnant with their second child.
5.  Something very interesting is that she won a Nobel Prize for Physics. She was also the third women ever to win a Nobel Prize for Physics. ]]> 2021-03-01 19:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255181300 aolvey https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255182379 2021-03-01 19:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255182379 alexandra_nottage https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255183302 1. Grace Murray Hopper was a Pioneer Computer Scientist.
2. She was born in New York, New York in 1906
3. She created the "500-page Manual of Operations for the
Automatic Sequence-Controlled Calculator." Her best-known invention would be the compiler, which translates computer languages.
4. After being in the Navy, Admiral Hopper never had less than 2 jobs at a time.
5. Fun fact- Grace Hopper went into the Navy WAVES before she created the compiler, and she later became an admiral.

2.  Lise Meitner was born in Vienna, Austria.
3. She and her scientific partner Otto Hahn discovered and made the first theoretical explanation of nuclear fission.
4. One challenge she faced is that Lise and her partner in science were almost competing against other foreign groups to make new discoveries.
5. One fact and another challenged she faced was that her partner in discovering nuclear fission won a Nobel peace prize in chemistry and gave Meitner no credit for helping.]]> 2021-03-01 19:45:21 UTC https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255183316 estella_newton https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255186925 1. Mary Anning was a paleontologist (someone who studies fossils.)
2. She is from Britain. 
3. She discovered many new types of fossils. She was the first to find an Ichthyosaurus, and also found the first nearly complete Plesiosaurus and the first British Pterodactylus macronyx, and more. 
4. Her father died when she was young, and her family had to rely on charity to survive. Also, when she sold her fossils to private collectors (who then sold them to museums), the museums didn't give her credit. 
5. She researched fossils so much that she could figure out what species they came from instantly, according to Lady Harriet Silvester.]]> 2021-03-01 19:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255186925 katehennessy2_1 https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255187448 1. Sophie studied in the field of Math, she was a mathematician.
2. She is from Paris, France, she was born there and died there
3. One of her greatest accomplishments is when she discovered 2D harmonic motion and eventually won Nepolian's competition on her 3rd try
4. Her main challenge was that she was a woman, no one would listen to her ideas, even her parents disapproved. Even to just show her work to a male mathematician, she put her name as a male. He loved the work and went to find her, he was appalled to find she was a woman. 
5. Her parents were so disgusted at the idea of a in a woman in science that the only time she could work on her math was at night, eventually they found out and took away her candles so she could only use the moon for light. ]]> 2021-03-01 19:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255187448 piperhalpern1 https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255190389 1. Her field of science was mathematics
2. She is from London, England
3. She was known for her work on Charles Babbage's mechanical computer, the Analytical Engine.
4. In the 1800's not many woman worked in this field. It was mostly men. She may have been treated diffrently because she was a woman. 
5. She helped create the first computer!!

2) She was born in Lowell, Massachusetts.
3) Hogg made many great accomplishments in her field, one of them was her detailed observations of calculating the distance of galaxies, were published in catalogs that people still read to this day. Another great accomplishment of hers was being made a Companion of the order of Canada, which is one of the highest ranked honors in the whole nation!
4) One challenge Helen faced was going to multiple colleges because women were not allowed to get a graduate degree of science from Harvard when she went to school there. Another challenge she faced was when her and her husband began to work at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory they made Hogg work as her husbands volunteer assistant.
5) Later in her career Helen published many books including, The Stars Belong to Everyone, and A Popular Guide to Astronomy. Also, Hogg hosted a television series in the 1970's.]]> 2021-03-01 19:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255199738 https://padlet.com/aolvey/3xilf2vk62z9n0ym/wish/1255206091 1) May Edward Chinn was a physician.
