More than a century later, science is still scratching at the surface of inactivation and all that it entails.
I did my PhD in a section headed by Mary Lyon, and then went to UCL in a building that contained MRC Units directed by Ruth Sanger and Anne McLaren. They were all real supporters of other women - it was years before I realised how unusually lucky I was to have had such strong female role models.
Born #OnThisDay in 1918 was Ruth Sanger FRS. She was known for her work on human red cell antigens and the genetic mapping of the human X chromosome. Her work on blood groups helped make blood transfusions safer. #HistoryOfScience #WomenInSTEM
