Lise Meitner was the most important female physicist of the 20th century. She made fundamental discoveries on the atom, including, most famously, being the first to discover the idea of fission. This she did as she puzzled over experimental results generated by her colleague Otto Hahn. Hahn, but not Meitner, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this monumental discovery. More generally, Meitner overcame profound obstacles facing women in science to become a central figure in physics during its heyday as she worked with the likes of Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein to understand the atom, and hence the universe. With us to discuss the life and legacy of Lise Meitner is Marissa Moss. Marissa is the award-winning author and illustrator of over 70 books for children and young adults, including the book we discuss today, The Woman Who Split the Atom: The Life of Lise Meitner.

fWotD Episode 2836: Lise Meitner Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 8 February 2025 is Lise Meitner.Elise Meitner (7 November 1878 – 27 October 1968), commonly known as Lise Meitner ( LEE-zə MYTE-nər; German: [ˈliːzə ˈmaɪtnɐ] ), was an Austrian-Swedish nuclear physicist who was instrumental in the discovery of nuclear fission.Completing her doctoral research in 1906, Meitner became the second woman from the University of Vienna to earn a doctorate in physics. She spent much of her scientific career in Berlin, where she was a physics professor and a department head at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry. She was the first woman to become a full professor of physics in Germany. She lost her positions in 1935 because of the anti-Jewish Nuremberg Laws of Nazi Germany, and the 1938 Anschluss resulted in the loss of her Austrian citizenship. On 13–14 July 1938, she fled to the Netherlands with the help of Dirk Coster. She lived in Stockholm for many years, ultimately becoming a Swedish citizen in 1949, but relocated to Britain in the 1950s to be with family members.In mid-1938, chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry demonstrated that isotopes of barium could be formed by neutron bombardment of uranium. Meitner was informed of their findings by Hahn, and in late December, with her nephew, fellow physicist Otto Robert Frisch, she worked out the physics of this process by correctly interpreting Hahn and Strassmann's experimental data. On 13 January 1939, Frisch replicated the process Hahn and Strassmann had observed. In Meitner and Frisch's report in the February 1939 issue of Nature, they gave the process the name "fission". The discovery of nuclear fission led to the development of nuclear reactors and atomic bombs during World War II.Meitner did not share the 1944 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for nuclear fission, which was awarded to her long-time collaborator Otto Hahn. Several scientists and journalists have called her exclusion "unjust". According to the Nobel Prize archive, she was nominated 19 times for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry between 1924 and 1948, and 30 times for the Nobel Prize in Physics between 1937 and 1967. Despite not having been awarded the Nobel Prize, Meitner was invited to attend the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in 1962. She received many other honours, including the posthumous naming of element 109 meitnerium in 1997. Meitner was praised by Albert Einstein as the "German Marie Curie."This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:33 UTC on Saturday, 8 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Lise Meitner on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Stephen.

Lise Meitner war eine Pionierin der Physik, die 1878 in Wien geboren wurde. Meitner studierte an der Universität Wien unter Ludwig Boltzmann, der ihre Begeisterung für Physik förderte, und promovierte 1906. Ihr Weg führte sie nach Berlin, wo sie zusammen mit Otto Hahn bedeutende Beiträge zur Radiochemie leistete. Die politischen Umwälzungen der 1930er Jahre in Deutschland zwangen Meitner, aufgrund ihrer jüdischen Herkunft zu fliehen. Sie setzte ihre Forschungen in Schweden unter schwierigen Bedingungen fort und spielte eine zentrale Rolle bei der Entdeckung der Kernspaltung 1939 – eine Entdeckung, die die Grundlage für die Atomenergie legte. Trotz ihrer bahnbrechenden Arbeit wurde ihr der Nobelpreis 1944, der Otto Hahn verliehen wurde, vorenthalten. Meitner blieb jedoch eine engagierte Pazifistin und setzte sich nach dem Krieg für die friedliche Nutzung der Kernenergie ein. Ihr Tod 1968 in Cambridge markierte das Ende eines beeindruckenden Lebens, das von wissenschaftlichem Fortschritt und ethischem Engagement geprägt war."Historische Heldinnen" lässt mithilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz wichtige Frauen der Weltgeschichte auf ihr eigenes Leben zurückblicken. Selbstbewusst erzählen sie uns von ihrem Mut und ihrer Durchsetzungskraft.Viertausendhertz 2024 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode: 1127  Why Germany didn't make an atomic bomb during WW-II?  Today, we ask about Germany and the atom bomb in WW-II.

We continue the story of Jewish physicist Lise Meitner, the first person to understand that the atom had been split. This is the second in a two-part series featuring new letters from and to Lise Meitner translated by author Marissa Moss, author of The Woman who Split the Atom: The Life of Lise Meitner (2022). The letters show the fraught and complex relationship between Otto Hahn and Meitner and the role that antisemitism played in the decision to give the Nobel Prize in 1944 to Hahn and not Meitner. After the discovery of nuclear fission, Meitner grappled with its implication: the advent of nuclear weapons and who would get credit for the discovery of nuclear fission. This would lead to a breakdown of Meitner and Hahn's decades-long scientific collaboration. Meitner, who had fled Germany because of the Nazis, was horrified at the thought of an atomic bomb. She also faulted Hahn for not speaking out about Nazi atrocities, and questioned his character, though she remained loyal to him to the end. It was their working relationship that defined her life.

New translations of hundreds of letters explain, in a two-part episode of Lost Women of Science, why physicist Lise Meitner was not awarded the Nobel Prize in 1944 for splitting the atom. Instead, it was given to her long-time collaborator, chemist Otto Hahn. Lise Meitner was born in Vienna in November of 1878 and moved to Berlin before the first World War where she started work with Hahn. When Marissa Moss came to research her biography of Meitner, The Woman who Split the Atom: The Life of Lise Meitner (2022), she found thousands of her letters in the Cambridge University archive, many of which had never been translated. In this episode we're diving into one particularly illuminating aspect of Meitner's story: her letters with Hahn, which reveal not only that it was Meitner who discovered nuclear fission, when she interpreted experiments that Hahn could not understand, but also her fraught relationship with Hahn. She went to great lengths through her letters to understand his refusal to give her credit for her work before and after the 1944 Nobel Prize was awarded. This first episode takes us up to the end of World War Two.

W tym odcinku pod lupę bierzemy życie i osiągnięcia Lisy Meitner, niesłusznie zapomnianej pionierki fizyki jądrowej. Znana przede wszystkim ze swojego wkładu w odkrycie procesu rozszczepienia jądra atomowego, Meitner łączyła niesłychane umiejętności naukowe z niezłomnym charakterem, który pozwolił jej przetrwać w erze dominacji mężczyzn w świecie nauki i zmagania z nazizmem. Poruszymy jej współpracę z Otto Hahnem, kontrowersje dotyczące ominięcia jej w nadaniu Nagrody Nobla oraz jej nieoceniony wpływ na rozwój fizyki jądrowej. Dowiedz się więcej o tym, jak jej odkrycia zmieniły nasze rozumienie energii jądrowej i przyczyniły się do rozwoju broni atomowej. Dlaczego w przeciwieństwie do Oppenheimera nie chciała dołączyć do Projektu Manhattan?

Die Kernphysikerin Lise Meitner (1878 - 1968) entdeckte zusammen mit Otto Hahn und Fritz Straßmann die Spaltung des Atomkerns. Mit dem Chemie-Nobelpreis hierfür wurde Hahn 1944 alleine ausgezeichnet. In einem Radiovortrag berichtet Meitner von ihren Erfahrungen als Frau im Wissenschaftsbetrieb.

Both through his own works and his activities in education, Richard Meitner has had a profoundly positive and highly visible impact on art in glass internationally. His works have been shown around the world and have been included in almost every major international museum exhibition of art in glass for the last 25 years. In spite of his considerable reknown, Meitner's work has never been mainstream. His place is always on the outer edge of what is happening, searching, challenging, discovering, taking risks, as if he were a child at play. It is this desire to discover and speak as a child does, to learn and rejoice in that learning, but also the willingness to be caught off guard, and amazed or puzzled by experience, which has always been at the heart of his activities.  Anna Venini wrote: “The best way to express what I like most about Richard and his work is perhaps this: he lives in an extraordinary world, one that is not simply the pleasing world of fairy tales but is at the same time a breeding ground for some serious (albeit elusive) philosophical thought and research. It is from this place that he creates. It is my feeling that he has not only already accomplished great things, but has, in addition, a long career in front of him as an important artist. I come from a family of glass makers. I love Richard's work most certainly not only for that reason, but also because Richard is able to approach that material and to use it with culture, with great fantasy and originality, with authority and great thoughtfulness. That combination is, in my experience, highly unusual.”  An artist with decades of experience and practice in art and art education, Meitner has lived in Amsterdam since 1972. He has lectured and conducted workshops in the U.S.A., Great Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain, Malta, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Italy and Japan. He has been invited artist-in-residence in many countries and has worked as a designer for the glass industry in Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Additionally, Meitner has served on the Dutch National Commission for Endowments for the Arts and the Dutch National Advisory Board for the Arts. Together with Mieke Groot, he was responsible from 1981 to 2000 for the glass department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. In 2006, he was appointed to the faculty for Science and Technology of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (New University of Lisbon), Portugal. Meitner's major exhibitions include a retrospective at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs of the Louvre in Paris, and solo shows at the National Museum for the History of Science and Medicine in Leiden, Netherlands, the National Glass Museum in Sunderland, England, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Corning Museum of Glass in the U.S.A. His work is included in the permanent collections of more than 60 museums in 16 countries. In 2020, the artist received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Glass Art Society. In 2016, Meitner earned a PhD in sculpture from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon, Portugal. His doctoral thesis made the case that in education and public policy for art, the way we define, make policy for and teach art is in many respects incorrect and ineffective. He formulates his arguments citing science and many other sources that strongly suggest that we need urgently to discuss, rethink and come to much more accurate and useful understandings of what making and appreciating art are really about.  In 2023, Meitner will begin work for his upcoming solo show at Galeria Caterina Tognon in Venice during the Biennale and continue to build a working collaboration with his partner, Nataliya Vladychko, a talented Ukrainian artist. He will also carry on his work with the Vicarte Research Unit at Universidade Nova in Lisbon, i.e. working with young student artists in the Master's degree program for the Art and Science of Glass and Ceramics.  Saya Meitner: “Helping young talented artists as a teacher is something I've done for many decades, and has become quite an important aspect of both my career and my life.”  

Di episode ini, kami ngobrol dengan Alya Jasmine, mahasiswa S2 di bidang Nuclear Energy di University of Cambridge. Alya terpapar tentang pentingnya nuklir sejak SMA, dan selalu ingin bergerak untuk mengkampanyekan nuklir serta meluruskan miskonsepsinya. Hingga akhirnya dia membuat The Meitner Project, sebuah proyek kampanye nuklir yang terinspirasi oleh Lisa Meitner. Kami ngobrol tentang ketertarikannya terhadap nuklir, bagaimana “skena” nuklir di Britania Raya, dan alasannya membuat The Meitner Project. So, let's check it out! —————————————————————————————————————————— Podcast Bicara Nuklir adalah podcast pertama di Indonesia yang membahas tentang Sains dan Teknologi Nuklir. Podcast ini diinisiasi oleh Harun Ardiansyah, Mahasiswa S3 Teknik Nuklir di University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Amerika Serikat. Podcast ini membahas tentang dasar - dasar mengenai ketenaganukliran dan juga wawancara dengan tokoh-tokoh yang bersinggungan dengan dunia nuklir di Indonesia. Podcast ini terinspirasi dari kurang populernya topik nuklir dibandingkan dengan topik keilmuan yang lain. Di sisi lain, perlu ada kampanye yang lebih masif tentang manfaat nuklir untuk menutupi pandangan-pandangan buruk tentang nuklir yang ada di masyarakat Indonesia. Podcast ini bertujuan untuk menjadi sarana komunikasi nuklir dengan format baru. Saat ini, Podcast Bicara Nuklir tersedia dalam tiga platform yaitu Spotify, Apple Podcast, dan Anchor. Podcast Bicara Nuklir telah bergulir sejak bulan Maret 2020, dan akan memulai season ketiganya di bulan September 2021.

The life of groundbreaking nuclear physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968) is given voice by narrator Sandy Rustin. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Robin Whitten discuss how this inspiring audiobook will be available for free for teen listeners this summer through AudioFile's SYNC program. Marginalized by sexism, Meitner, an Austrian Jew, struggled to pursue the field she loved, eventually earning her colleagues' respect and a partnership with chemist Otto Hahn in Berlin. Nazi policies stripped her of her position and forced her to flee. In exile, she recognized the atomic behavior described by Hahn to be nuclear fission. Rustin's nuanced delivery lets the story speak for itself, allowing listeners to feel Meitner's anger and sorrow as Hahn eventually betrays their partnership and her world-changing insight is used in war.

Episode: 2278 Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn: friendship in the face of terrible odds.  Today, Meitner and Hahn, an odd couple.

What would it take to "render justice" in science? In this roundtable discussion, our panelists discuss two episodes that demonstrate how scientific credit and recognition reflect the social and political order of the times. Ruth Lewin Sime and Robert Marc Friedman discuss the "Meitner Scandal," in which the world-renowned physicist Lise Meitner was denied a Nobel Prize for her work, despite being nominated over 50 times and having been considered by many—both in her time and now—as an exemplary candidate. Michael Chwe and Peter Sachs Collopy discuss the recent reckoning with the racist and pro-eugenic beliefs of Robert A. Millikan, the former faculty member at Caltech and winner of the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physics. They discuss activism in having Millikan's name taken off of buildings at Caltech, as well as current attempts to make Caltech more inclusive and diverse. Our moderator for this panel is Susan Lindee, Professor of History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania, and our commentator is Sue V. Rosser, Provost Emerita and Professor Emerita at San Francisco State University. Please watch a number of our panelists live on Sunday, February 20, 2022 at 12:00pm and on-demand as they discuss these issues at the 2022 AAAS Annual Meeting.

In this podcast, Jack and Mark discuss the amazing scientific contributions of Lise Meitner and her escape from Nazi Germany. Meitner was the first scientist to explain the physical process she called "nuclear fission" while simulataneously dealing with the difficulties of sexism and World War II. Not given the credit she deserved for this important work, Meitner lived a life of integrity in the midst of difficult personal circumstances and under the mistaken attribution of as the "mother of the atomic bomb."

This week Marcia is joined by Sue Meitner, President & Founder of Centennial Lending Group. After starting her company in 2010, Sue learned it was hard to say no and that the balance is never perfect. She shares her secrets to her success and the mistakes along the way that got her to where she is today.

Der Schauspieler Thimo Meitner besuchte Franz und Ricky im Podcast! Der gutriechende Wassermann gab sich die Ehre und besprach mit den beiden Burschen alles zu: Indiana Jones - "Jäger des verlorenen Schatzes" (1981).

Han började som 15-åring med att försöka sälja mobilladdare på nätet och utmanar idag miljardbolag i gigantiska upphandlingar. Adrian Andersson är multientreprenören som med sina 22 år fyllda har startat 6 bolag, rest 7,5 miljoner i kapital och levererat i SVT:s Draknästet med att få in inte bara en, utan flera investerare till sitt bolag Meitner. Som ung, hungrig och med knappa gymnasiebetyg i ryggsäcken tog han sig an att utmana skolplattformen som kostat Stockholms Stad miljardbelopp och göra administrationen i skolorna enklare, billigare och mer effektiva. Hur går det till att skapa en start-up? Vilka fördomar möter man som ung entreprenör och hur motbevisar man att kompetens inte är detsamma som ålder? Vi pratar också hur offentlig upphandling fungerar. Varför är det så komplicerat och onödigt rörigt, och varför är upphandlingsprocessen den stora boven för Sveriges ekonomi?

„Kultur ist kein Luxus. Ich finde es schlimm, dass es überhaupt Diskussionen gibt, ob wir Mittel bereitstellen sollen für Kultur. Das darf einfach keine Frage sein.“ Die Dirigentin Eva Meitner war zu Gast im Backstage Podcast und beschreibt sehr persönlich, was sie sich von der Musik- und Kulturszene wünschen würde. Wir sprechen außerdem über Frauenorchester und vergessene Komponistinnen, Herausforderungen beim Dirigieren, Klassische Musik in Michael Jackson Songs, graue Haare, Perfektionismus und Authentizität. Eva Meitner ist Chefdirigentin des Sinfonischen Orchesters Hoyerswerda und des freien Orchesters Leipzig. Zudem ist sie als Lehrbeauftragte im Fach Dirigieren an der Uni Erfurt tätig. Seit 2020 produziert sie Youtube Videos mit ihrem Toy Piano.

Lise Meitner ja Otto Hahn pommittivat uraania neutroneilla Berliinissä Keisari Wilhelm -instituutin kemian laboratoriossa, kunnes ratkaisevassa työn vaiheessa Meitner joutui juutalaisena pakenemaan natsi-Saksasta. Joululomalla vuonna 1938 hän sisarenpoikansa kanssa tutkaili Hahnin lähettämiä tuloksia ja oivalsi, että Berliinissä tehdyissä kokeissa oli saatu aikaan fissio eli uraaniatomin ydin oli haljennut kevyemmiksi ytimiksi. Vuoden 1944 kemian Nobelin palkinto myönnettiin fissiolöydöstä Otto Hahnille. Eikö Nobel-komitea rohjennut natsi-Saksan vuoksi jakaa palkintoa sekä saksalaiselle Hahnille että juutalaiselle Meitnerille? Lise Meitner järkyttyi suuresti Hiroshiman ja Nagasakin pommituksista vuonna 1945. Kun Otto Hahn luovutti osan Nobel-palkintosummastaan Meitnerille, hän antoi saamansa rahan atomienergian rauhanomaista käyttöä edistävälle komitealle. Lise Meitnerin ja fission historiasta on haastateltavana filosofian lisensiaatti Tytti Varmavuo-Häikiö ja fission fysiikasta professori Kari Rummukainen Helsingin yliopistosta. Toimittajana on Sisko Loikkanen.

"People appreciate the balance of flavors, as opposed to the 'put some hair on your chest! It's the most bitter IPA." "Full disclosure: This is a book I had to read for class last week." Beer: Tears of my Enemies by Monday Night Brewing (Atlanta, Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama) Poetry: Erika Meitner's book Holy Moly Carry Me (2018, BOA Editions) Girl Crush: Ruth Bader Ginsburg We're 34 episodes in, and we're still surviving and balancing work and school and the podcast and the minimal fun you can have during a global pandemic. But sometimes, we'll just take a few shortcuts, such as reading poems from a book assigned for class or enjoying a small beer before a Zoom class gets going. It's called ~balance~. But even if we're working on crunched schedules, we're not short on fun things to talk about. This week, Erica enjoys her first beer from a physical Monday Night Brewing, as opposed to the grocery store, and compares it to an apple fritter with breakfast. Alyx reads select poems from Erika Meitner's book, "Holy Moly Carry Me," and we discuss Meitner's ability to balance normalcy and the mundane with beautiful imagery and subtle messages. It's a good one, folks. So put on your sweaters, hold a book close and crack open a beer. It's fall, baby!

The definitive history of nuclear weapons and the Manhattan Project. From the turn-of-the-century discovery of nuclear energy to the dropping of the first bombs on Japan, Richard Rhodes's Pulitzer Prize–winning book details the science, the people, and the sociopolitical realities that led to the development of the atomic bomb. This sweeping account begins in the 19th century, with the discovery of nuclear fission, and continues to World War Two and the Americans' race to beat Hitler's Nazis. That competition launched the Manhattan Project and the nearly overnight construction of a vast military-industrial complex that culminated in the fateful dropping of the first bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Reading like a character-driven suspense novel, the book introduces the players in this saga of physics, politics, and human psychology—from FDR and Einstein to the visionary scientists who pioneered quantum theory and the application of thermonuclear fission, including Planck, Szilard, Bohr, Oppenheimer, Fermi, Teller, Meitner, von Neumann, and Lawrence. From nuclear power's earliest foreshadowing in the work of H.G. Wells to the bright glare of Trinity at Alamogordo and the arms race of the Cold War, this dread invention forever changed the course of human history, and The Making of The Atomic Bomb provides a panoramic backdrop for that story. Richard Rhodes's ability to craft compelling biographical portraits is matched only by his rigorous scholarship. Told in rich human, political, and scientific detail that any reader can follow, The Making of the Atomic Bomb is a thought-provoking and masterful work.

Radiovortrag 1953 | Die Kernphysikerin Lise Meitner (7.11.1878 – 27.10.1968) entdeckte zusammen mit Otto Hahn und Fritz Straßmann die Spaltung des Atomkerns. Mit dem Chemie-Nobelpreis hierfür wurde Hahn 1944 alleine ausgezeichnet. In einem Radiovortrag berichtet Meitner von ihren Erfahrungen als Frau im Wissenschaftsbetrieb.

The 2019 Nobel Prizes for chemistry and physics were awarded this week, and — as is the case most of the time — they went to men. That’s despite steps the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which runs the Nobel program, took just last year to be more inclusive.The academy's secretary-general, Göran K. Hansson, sent a letter to scientists asking them to take geography and gender into consideration in their nominations and asked more women to suggest candidates.But efforts to diversify Nobel winners are slow going, and there’s a long history to overcome: Of the more than 600 Nobel Prizes that have been given out in the sciences, just 20 have gone to women. Some other prize categories, such as peace and literature, are more diverse, but they are considered more “acceptable” for women. (The 20 awards include prizes in physiology or medicine, chemistry and physics.)But those prizes have also had their challenges. The Nobels haven’t been spared from modern movements like #MeToo; last year, because of a complicated sexual harassment scandal, the Royal Swedish Academy didn’t award a prize for literature — so there are two awards in that category this year.Related: Nobel Literature prize award postponed amid turmoil over sex scandalHansson told the journal Nature that he couldn’t do more to increase diversity because of a covenant laid down by the original funder of the prizes, Alfred Nobel, who invented dynamite. Nobel explicitly said nationality shouldn’t be considered in awarding winners.“It’s important to remember that the Nobel Prize is awarded for discoveries and inventions, and those who receive it have made major contributions to humankind, and that’s why they get the prize.”Göran K. Hansson, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, secretary-general “It’s important to remember that the Nobel Prize is awarded for discoveries and inventions,” Hansson said at the 2018 press conference to announce the Nobel Prize winner for physics, “and those who receive it have made major contributions to humankind, and that’s why they get the prize.”At that press conference, Canadian Donna Strickland was named winner for her work on lasers. She became the first woman to receive a Nobel for physics in 55 years. She took questions from reporters, and seemed surprised when one told her she was only the third woman ever to earn a Nobel for physics. (It went to French physicist Marie Curie in 1903, who was also awarded the Nobel in chemistry in 1911, and German-born American physicist Maria Goeppert Mayer received the physics Nobel in 1963.)The scene was not quite the same this year when the Nobel committee announced its prize for chemistry to three men in an Oct. 9 press conference.Related: Physics Nobel for laser pioneers includes first woman in 55 years“I thought there might have been more,” Strickland said. “Obviously, we need to celebrate women physicists because we’re out there. And hopefully, in time, it’ll start to move forward at a faster rate, maybe. I don’t know what to say. I’m honored to be one of those women.”(Strickland was promoted to full professor within weeks of the announcement of her Nobel win.)Hansson, joining in, said, “We expect more to come.”There’s no way to know who’s been nominated for a Nobel; those names are kept confidential for 50 years. So, at that 2018 press conference, a reporter asked just for the percentage: How many women were among the total number of nominees? Hansson said he didn’t have that in front of him.“It’s a small percentage that’s for sure,” Hansson said. “And that’s why we’re taking measures to encourage more nominations. Because we don’t want to miss anyone.”His academy colleague, physics professor Olga Botner, added that the percentage is small because a few decades ago, there were many fewer women in science.“So, the number has been increasing steadily over the years, but the number of nominations rather reflect the percentages as they were, say, two or three decades back in time,” she said.“Thank you,” Hansson responded. “Good point.”Related: Fighting the STEM gender gap with stories of trailblazing female scientistsBut is it? Liselotte Jauffred investigated.“I think it was a dinner table discussion,” said Jauffred, an associate physics professor at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen. “We were thinking, ‘Is it just by random that they only chose men?’”So, she and her colleagues used historical data and modeling to find out if the smaller number of women in scientific fields fully accounts for the low number of female Nobel laureates. They published a paper about it last October. The results, Jauffred says, are clear — even accounting for fewer women in the sciences throughout history, women are underrepresented among Nobel Prize winners.“With 95% probability, there is a bias against women,” she said.And there are plenty of examples of women who seem to have deserved the Nobel Prize.Claudia Rankins, co-founder of the Society of STEM Women of Color, points to Lise Meitner, the Austrian physicist who Rankins argues discovered nuclear fission. Meitner fled Nazi persecution, but refused to work on the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb. Her teammate, Otto Hahn, was awarded the Nobel Prize for their work in 1944.Related: Lise Meitner — the forgotten woman of nuclear physics who deserved a Nobel Prize“And that's just one example,” said Rankins, who is also a program officer at the National Science Foundation, but is speaking here only of her personal views. “I'm sure you can find throughout history, and even now, many other examples where men and women worked side by side, and the man gets the prize.”The Swedish Academy can’t give Nobels to those who might have been overlooked; its own rules don’t allow posthumous awards.Women and people of color are still underrepresented in many scientific fields. And they don’t rise as fast: Rankins points out that when Strickland won the physics Nobel last year, she was still an associate professor at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, despite her accomplishments. Recent studies suggest that women have been winning more science awards, but those awards often pay less, are lower status, and have to do with teaching, not research.Rankins said being a woman or minority in a largely white, male field can still be a daily hardship.“It takes a toll on you on your health and well-being,” she said. “And then for somebody to say, ‘Hmm, there are only white men scientifically advanced enough to be worthy of the Nobel Prize,’ just sort of adds insult to injury.”

Superscience Me widmet sich in dieser Ausgabe ganz der österreichischen Kernphysikerin Lise Meitner und ihrer Forschung. Meitner hat 1938 gemeinsam mit den Chemikern Otto Hahn und Fritz Straßmann die Kernspaltung entdeckt. Sie lebte von 1978 bis 1968 und miterlebte und mitgestaltete die großen Umbrüche in der physikalischen Forschung im 20. Jahrhundert: Röntgenstrahlung, Radioaktivität, die Anfänge der Quantenphysik.

Kärnfysikern Lise Meitner förklarade hur atomer klyvs när uran bestrålas med neutroner. Men när upptäckten Nobelprisbelönades på hösten 1945 blev Meitner utan pris. Hur kunde det bli så? Lise Meitner startade i mitten på 1930-talet ett forskningsprojekt i Berlin som gick ut på att bestråla uran med neutroner. Ett par år senare tvingades Meitner i exil i Sverige, men i Berlin fortsatte hennes kollega, Otto Hahn, forskningen. Lise Meitner fick då ett brev från Otto Hahn där han berättade att barium, ett grundämne lättare än uran, oväntat skapats när han bestrålat uran med neutroner. Lise Meitner räknade ut att det handlade om att atomen klyvts, något som ingen forskare dittills trodde var möjligt. 1945 belönades upptäckten med Nobelpriset i kemi. Men priset gick till Otto Hahn ensam. I programmet hörs: Ruth Lewin Sime, professor och författare i Sacramento USA, Anders Barany, nobelprishistorisk expert, Kalle Grandin, föreståndare för Centrum för Vetenskapshistoria vid Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien.

Philip Ball reveals the dramatic tale of Lise Meitner, the humanitarian physicist of Jewish descent, who unlocked the science of the atom bomb after a terrifying escape from Hitler's Germany. One of the most brilliant nuclear scientists working in Germany her flight from terror cost Hitler’s regime dearly. In the early 20th Century it was barely possible for women to work in science at all and yet Einstein once called Meitner Germany’s own Marie Curie. It was Meitner’s insight that began the nuclear age and her story remains ever relevant, as the threat of nuclear conflict lies once again over the world. Philip Ball talks to historian Dr Patricia Fara about Lise Meitner and her research and to Patricia Lewis of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons or ICAN, based in Geneva, which this year was awarded the Nobel Peace prize for its work in trying to reverse nuclear proliferation, about Meitner’s legacy today.

The Trinity test, a name inspired by the poems of John Donne. The site chosen was a remote corner on the Alamagordo Bombing Range known as the "Jornada del Muerto," or "Journey of Death," 210 miles south of Los Alamos. Specifically, scientists would try to determine the symmetry of the implosion and the amount of energy released. Additional measurements would be taken to determine damage estimates, and equipment would record the behavior of the fireball. In 1938 Hahn, Meitner, and Strassmann became the first to recognize that the uranium atom, when bombarded by neutrons, actually split. Hahn received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1944. In 1938 Meitner had to leave Berlin because the Nazis were closing in on all people of Jewish ancestry. She soon found a congenial setting for her research at the Nobel Institute in Stockholm. Her nephew, the physicist Otto Frisch, was located at Niels Bohr’s institute in Copenhagen. Meanwhile, Hahn and Strassmann found that they had unexpectedly produced barium, a much lighter element than uranium, and they reported this news to Meitner. She and her nephew worked out the physics calculations of the phenomenon based on Bohr’s “droplet” model of the nucleus and clearly stated that nuclear fission of uranium had occurred. Leo Szilard German: Leo Spitz until age 2; February 11, 1898 – May 30, 1964) was a Hungarian-born physicist and inventor. He conceived the nuclear chain reaction in 1933, patented the idea of a nuclear reactor with Enrico Fermi, and in late 1939 wrote the letter for Albert Einstein's signature that resulted in the Manhattan Project that built the atomic bomb. Roosevelt within a month had organized a research committee. The United States introduced its own nuclear program under the Army Corps of Engineers in June 1942. The U.S. needed to build an atomic weapon before Germany or Japan did. The project was originally named "Development of Substitute Materials," but there was concern that the name was too suggestive of its real purpose. Since it was frequently the case the US Army Corps of Engineers offices were named for the city in which they were based, it was renamed Manhattan Engineering District, which became known as the Manhattan Project. In September 1942, Groves was appointed to head the Manhattan Project with the rank of Temporary Brigadier General. As project leader, he was in charge of all of the project's phases, including scientific, technical and process development; construction; production; security and military intelligence of enemy activities; and planning for use of the bomb. Under General Groves' direction, atomic research was conducted at Columbia University and the University of Chicago. The main project sites were built at Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, and Hanford. He personally selected J. Robert Oppenheimer as leader of the Los Alamos laboratory, disregarding the latter man's Communist associations and waiving his security clearance process.

Today I'll tell you about a Jewish woman who did NOT get the Nobel prize. But first, I'll tell you who the Jewish women are that DID get the Nobel prize. There are eight amazing women on this list: 1947 Gerty Cori - Physiology or Medicine-USA-: For their discovery of the source of the catalytic conversion of glycogen 1966 Nelly Sachs - Literature - Sweden-: for her outstanding lyrical and dramatic writing, which interprets Israel's destiny with touching strength 1977 Rosalyn Sussman Yalow - Physiology or Medicine-USA-: For the development of radioimmunoassays of peptide hormones 1986 Rita Levi-Montalcini (together with Stanley Cohen) Physiology or Medicine - Italy-: For their discoveries of growth factors 1988 Gertrude Elion: Physiology or Medicine-USA-: for their discoveries of important principles for drug treatment 1992- Nadine Gordimer - Literature-South Africa: - who through her magnificent epic writing has, in the words of Alfred Nobel, been of very great benefit to humanity 2004 Elfriede Jelinek - Literature-Austria: for her musical flow of voices and counter-voices in novels and plays that with extraordinary linguistic zeal reveal the absurdity fo society's cliches and their subjugating power 2009 Ada Yonath - Chemistry-Israel- for the studies of the structure and function of the ribosome So, I know the suspense is killing you, and you are dying to know who is the woman who did NOT get a Nobel Prize. So other than you and me who are also women who might be Jewish and didn't get a Nobel prize, (unless Ada Yonath or Elfriede Jelinek are listening, then this doesn't apply to you). Another Jewish woman who did not get the Nobel Prize, though she deserved it, and her lab partner did get it and didn't credit her for their discoveries, is: Lise Meitner Lise Meitner was a physicist, born 1878, died in 1968, just shy of her 90th birthday. Lise was born to a Jewish family in Vienna, and they were secular Jews. Her dad, once he noticed that Lise was adept at math, he got her a private tutor, insisting that his daughters get the same education as his sons! And in fact, three of her sisters also got their Ph.D.'s Go dad!! She wasn't allowed into the high school, which was only for boys, so she concentrated on getting straight into university, which she did, being the first woman to be admitted to the University of Vienna's physics. There she met Max Planck, the father of the quantum theory, who invited Lise to Berlin for her post-doc. Although for five years she wasn't allowed to go into the lab, because she was a woman, and women's hair was a danger because it might catch on fire, so they weren't allowed into the lab, she worked on research on radioactive processes. She wasn't paid for her work there. The same year, 1907, that she moved to work in Berlin, she was introduced to Otto Hahn, a chemist her age, who became her research partner on radioactivity for 30 years, in experimental work discovering new radioactive elements and unraveling their complex physical properties. Lise worked on the physics, Otto on the chemistry. But only Otto was officially allowed to work and be paid because Lise was a woman. Max Planck also invited another scientist to Berlin that year, and that was Albert Einstein, and the three of them, and a few others hung out together a lot during that time. Lise Meitner published papers of her research then, alone, and together with Otto Hahn. They showed that radioactive recoil could be used to produce elements with very high purity. Around that time, in 1908, Lise Meitner converted to Christianity, as did two of her sisters. With the rise of the Third Reich, in 1933 Jewish Academics were stripped of their professorial positions. After the Anschluss, the international physics community secretly planned Lise's escape from Berlin. She was helped to the Netherlands, then to Sweden via Denmark. In their letters from that time, between Otto and Lise, Otto asks Lise about a strange bursting that happened to uranium, which formed barium, as a result of his continuing Lise's work. He wrote a paper, excluding Lise from the research, her research, describing the bursting. She then worked on the question, figured out that if mass cannot be lost, then the nucleus would be split in two, and would yield tremendous energy. She then wrote a series of articles on the nuclear fission of uranium. She, together with her nephew, Otto Frisch, were the first ever to use the term fission, describing how a nucleus could be split and transformed into another element. Lise Meitner disassociated herself from any use of this theoretical knowledge to produce weapons of mass destruction. It was creative; it was intellectual excellence. Hahn published Meitner's work without ever mentioning her, and in 1944 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for this work. Further along in her life, Lise Meitner received many prizes and honorary Ph.D.'s, and after her death, she even had an element named after her: meitnerium, but she never got a Nobel Prize. Thank you to The Curious Wavefunction, Brainpickings.org, and the Jewish Women's Archive for most of the information in today's podcast. Thank you for joining me today for this quick podcast about strong Jewish women in history. Have a great week everybody, Ciao for now, L'hitraot

In this special two-part episode, Rachel Zucker speaks with poet Erika Meitner, author of four books, most recently Copia. In part one, Meitner details her circuitous route to becoming a poet, her early influences (especially the work of Mark Doty), and her conversational diction and increasingly straight-forward poetics. She explains that much of her work arises from a commitment to writing accurately and respectfully about the small town in which she lives, and the challenges of writing as an engaged member of her community while being an othered outsider, a poet, a Jew, and the white mother of a black son. Meitner and Zucker discuss documentary poetry, the ethical considerations of writing about real people, alternatives to the pastoral, and "gritpo," a term neither of them really understand. In part two, Meitner and Zucker speak by phone so that Meitner can describe her experience of reporting in verse while in Cleveland during the Republican National Convention. Their conversation explores the difference between poetry and media, the challenges of working on commission and on deadline, and the efficacy of poetry as a tool for social justice.

A discussion of the developments in nuclear physics that led to the discovery of fission.  These include Francis Aston's development of the mass spectrometer, George Gamow, Neils Bohr and Charles Weisacker and the development of the Liquid-Drop Model of the nucleus, the work of Otto Hahn at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin, Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch in discovering nuclear fission and both H. G. Wells and Leo Szilard's prophetic predictions of the development of atomic weapons.  

Erika Meitner reads "Pediatric Escatology" and "Preventing Teen Cough Medicine Abuse" .

Enrico Fermi es famoso por la construcción del primer reactor nuclear. En 1942, en la Universidad de Chicago, logró la primera reacción nuclear en cadena, una reacción controlada que dio paso a la reacción nuclear más descontrolada de todas: la bomba atómica. Pero detrás de esos hechos que le han marcado para siempre, hay una larga historia, una historia de lucha por descubrir los insondables secretos del núcleo atómico, una lucha en las que participaron muchos otros protagonistas entre los que no faltó el odio, el amor o la indiferencia. Escuchen ustedes la biografía de Enrico Fermi.
