Lise Meitner (1878–1968) ⚛️
The physicist who helped uncover nuclear fission — but refused to build the bomb.
Overlooked by the Nobel, honored by element Meitnerium (109).
Her epitaph says it all: “A physicist who never lost her humanity.”

In a 1956 Columbia lab, Chien-Shiung Wu shattered a law of physics: nature itself is lopsided. The Nobel went elsewhere. From China to Berkeley to New York, she rewrote science and proved brilliance can’t be erased.

Lise Meitner split the atom. She is the mind behind nuclear fission. Yet, the credit ( the Nobel Prize ) went to her male collaborator. History is full of Janes like her. That is why we tell #JaneDoeStories

They got the Nobel, she got forgotten. #lisemeitner #womeninscience #unsungheros #fyp
