@AnneBoden Hi! Just getting into your book and wanted to ask if you would be interested in taking part in our women in stem interview series? 😊

Lise Meitner ~ Austrian-Swedish physicist
#ShortSciStory
Meitner helped discover nuclear fission but, as a Jewish woman, her part in the discovery was erased. Her male colleague, Hahn, was awarded the Nobel Prize. Despite her amazing work she remains largely unknown. #womeninSTEM
