Hodgkin is the second woman (after Curie) to be awarded the @NobelPrize with a distinguished contribution to #nutrition - resolving the #crystal structures of insulin and the cobalt-centred #vitamin B12. She had a unique way of seeing and interpreting the x-ray Patterson map https://t.co/ybWXY26JQV

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

On 8 May 1945, Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin (1910-1994) solved the structure of penicillin after many others had failed. Later, she also managed to determine the structure of vitamin B12 and insulin. #NobelPrize
