Watson, Crick and Wilkins won a Nobel Prize in 1962 for their discovery. Franklin was excluded.]]> 2021-03-22 14:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/martelscience/ftio8xqnj0iy5rhj/wish/1338308590 https://padlet.com/martelscience/ftio8xqnj0iy5rhj/wish/1338997879 Alice Ball developed an injectable treatment for leprosy. Ball was only 23 years old when she developed a technique that would allow the oil from chaulmoogra tree seeds to become injectable and absorbable by the body. She was an inspiration for many others after her death.

She was the first African American women to obtain a PH.D in chemistry. She had to work very hard and had to overcome many obstacles. Eventually in the end, she showed everyone what she could do and proved them wrong.

Her theory was called the "Cori Cycle," which helped treat diabetes. In 1947, Gerty and her husband won the Nobel Prize for discovering the enzymes that convert glycogen into sugar, then into glycogen again. Cori has made many monumental discoveries that have all changed our understanding of science.

She is mostly known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine. She was the Countess of Lovelace. She's sometimes credited as the first computer programmer because she created the first algorithm used by an early computer prototype. She wrote the first algorithm to be processed by a machine.
