One thing we've always been agitiating for in this section is the ladies.

I know, there are no desirable men here. we're all scrawny nerds, but still . . .

I've always Admired female scientists . . . even before i became a main stream scientist, all my crushes were scientists . . . they were also dead people, so . . . i never got to express my feelings . . . thanks.
so I thought to share my crush collection to you guys, right? because that's totally normal.
so, here, I present to you, my crushes in this world, Seven of my most favorite female scientists, The list of the most interesting women in the world.

---

Emmy Noether
[img]http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/noether.jpg[/img] Hmmmn . . . nice curves . . . sorry, i mean,
Emmy Noether was a female Jewish German scientist. she was both a mathematician and theoretical physicist. She was actually one of the leading mathematicians of her time! She has a theorem called Noether theorem that explains the relationship between symmetry and conservation laws. and hey, Albert Einstein, pavel Alexandrov , and hermann weyl referred to her as THE most important woman in the entire history of mathematics. not to mention her cur . . . sorry, contributions to physics. abstract algebra, topology and mathematical rings.

Grace Hopper


Okay fine . . . maybe she isn't that good looking . . . to shallow guys.
so this lady right here, is just too amazing. she was both a soldier AND a scientist. she is often referred to as amazing grace. she, invented the first complier, invented the word, debugging, contributed to the development of one of the first high level programming languages, she was a navy rear admiral . . . she was one of the first programmers of the havard mark I computer, she was one of the developers of UNIVAC . . . can i hear a slow clap from there?

Ada Lovelace

What attracts so many women to computing?
anyway, Ada lovelace, the curvy goddess of computer science, is the first programmer in the world. that's right, you guys in the programming section . . . a lady beat you to it. sorry.
so, she died at the age of 36, a minute silence . . . she was a British mathematician, who is, not only the first person to program, but the first person to design an algorithm. because she's just that cool. she was a countess, and she was also the first person to realize that the power of computers was more than just calculations. she envisioned that they could eventually be used for doing things that can be broken down logically. just like your computer can now play videos. instead of just doing calculations.

marie curie


If you don't Already know this woman, then . . . where have you been? come on! anyway, she was polish . . . and, you know, became french . . . concerning the nobel prize, she is the only woman to win twice, the first person to win twice, and the only person to win twice in multiple sciences(take that . . . Albert . . . )
she died at 66, which is generally a good age, i guess. i mean, come on, you know when Blaise pascal died? even without radio activity.
so, she coined the term, radioactivity, she Isolated two elements, polonium and radium, and she also dabbled into medicine as well, figuring out, miraculously, no doubt, how to use radioactivity to treat certain illnesses! she became the director of the red cross radiology service, and went Florence nightingale on everyone. her contributions will never be forgotten at all in the history of science.
(wipes tears. )

Irene Joliot curie
[img]http://saintssistersandsluts.files./2012/08/irc3a8ne_joliot-curie_1897-1956_c-_1935.jpg[/img]

Notice something? yeah me too. she is the daughter of marie curie.
yeah. so . . . she is also a nobel prize winner. and she also worked on radioactivity. and Oh, she shared the prize with her husband.
anyway, her mother got the prize for natural radioactivity, and she got the prize for artificial radioactivity.
i know, right? i told you the list contains the most interesting women in the world, didn't I? . and her daughter is also a very prominent scientist. talk about strong genes.
unfortunately, she also got killed by radiation . . . (fine, robinhez may have a point. ) but who cares, right? she's still a gem in the field of science.

Alice Ball


A minute silence for our blood sister here. yup, she is a black lady. and she died at the age of 24. so young. so painful. and she has only one picture to her credit. who knows what she might have accomplished if she'd lived longer. just at that young age, she already had a masters degree. and, she developed a treatment for leprosy for more than twenty years. what's really interesting about her is what more she could have done. imagine if Einstein had died at 24.

Sofia Kovalevskaya
[img]http://cdn.ruvr.ru/2011/08/10/1252589782/Sofja_Wassiljewna_Kowalewskaja_1.jpg[/img]

Russians and their impossible to pronounce names . . . smh . . .
anyway, this lady right here, is my most recently discovered female scientist. And she didn't disappoint at all. she made several significant contributions to analysis(calculus is a subset of this.) partial differential equations, and mechanics. she was the first female professor in Russia, she also introduced the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem. not that hard to grasp if you're good in math, i guess. here, take a look. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy%E2%80%93Kovalevskaya_theorem[/url]

So, i guess my point is, what a man can do . . . a woman can equally do. . and we have always learned in science that anytime a woman is involved, something entirely dynamic changes science. and we really DO want more women to come and contribute. because they really can. and whenever they do, they become one of the most interesting women in the world.



Cheers.


Lalasticlala, dominique, Robinhez, johnydon22 and his freecocoa, dekatron, Xploraben, Sirwere, freemanan, Llaykorn, Mathschic . . . and other interesting people of the world . . .

Never doubted Curie will make this list...


I love that lady.... Her husband was a great influence when I was a physicist.... Such a great family of Novels...


Radiation took a new phase because of her....

Even though the ratio of male to female scientists is so large, this woman reduced the gap with her works...

My apologies my intellectual colleague but I have to deviate a bit...

THE FACT THAT NO AFRICAN WOMAN COMES TO MIND IN THIS SUBJECT SPEAKS VOLUME.


IT FURTHER BUTTRESS THE FACT THAT THE PLACE OF THE WOMEN ARE IN THE CITADEL OF TRIVIAL AND EMOTIONAL CUM CULINARY FIELDS.


THIS HAS TO CHANGE...


IHATAGO??

Nice write up @ Teempakguy. Marie curie was a great woman. she died due to the large amount of radiation in her body. she kept working and today we all have benefited from her work.

just like someone mentioned, they are many Nigerian female scientists that should make that list. one that am very sure is Prof.F.N.Okeke a laureate. she won a prize in 2014 as one of the five world best female scientists, which her work on ionosphere got her. mayhaps the topic isn't general but anyone in atmospheric physics should know about the ionosphere and her works.

Also, in the area of bioenergy, Dr. Mrs Ezekoye is doing great, her research has been published in a high impact journals.

thanks anyway.

Ah..... Lady Lovelace and Marie Curie........ Some of the most lovely scientists to ever grace the earth! **Sheds tear**;( However, this should be a challenge to ladies out there, stop being leeches and start doing things actually!!!

I respected these women any day and any time. We need to a compilation of contemporary women in Science.
Quick fact: Only one woman has won the Field's Medal, am award considered to the Nobel Prize for Mathematics.
I also that government and women oriented organizations should create endowments for women in STEM in Nigeria. Too much attention on Tiwa and Tonto Dike.

Have you noticed that the women in the post are all late people?

have you also noticed that no woman has commented yet?

I dey observe.

What about Sally Kristen Ride? Astronaut and physicist; First and youngest american lady in space... With a passion for helping kids who bla bla bla...just click on the damn link!

She sure is interesting . . . btw, did you hear that bethoveen's birthday was yesterday?

Teempakguy:

Yea...saw the doodle all over google yesterday.

lovely women.... I love their efforts.... .... Anybody noticed they were mostly physicists Where are my biologists?

Please see below. Sorry I can't type the list out.

I am also working on my invention, its called holi-tician.

We can use it to know corrupt politicians. It will be a very good tool to scan politician before they can contest elections.

Watchout

alright.. Thank you

What I am about to write may not go down well with some folks,especially those of a certain gender. Yet what has to be said has to be said.

I think that there is an inherent limitation for women when it comes to reasoning,logic & science.I do not have data to back up these claim,but this opinion stems from observation.

The field of science is highly skewed in the favor of men. Why that is,is another debate entirely. So say you have 1 female to every 30 males,it would be tough for her to be the best because the odds are stacked against her. Suppose though that this one lady has the will and grit to come out top[barring externalities such as gender bias,etc],she may go on to be a legend,Marie Curie being a case in point.

For context,look at the world of chess-a game that requires strategy & precise thinking-how many females do you know that play chess? In fact,Judith Polgar is the only female GM ever and even she has dropped out due to the intensity involved in it.

I'm open to a debate on the matter...

Where have i been all this while i feel left out.
I'm gon be following y'all NL SCIENTISTS. mrphysics, can i get ur Facebook username or Email, pls wana chat with u on Physics. i've just gotten an Admssion in FUTO to study it as my 1st choice course. Thanks.

Cc; Seun, Lalasticlala, pls put this on the front page!! Not Tonto Dickè changing her pads every 1 hr. Let the public see this! Esp the ladies, atleast, this gona be an encouragement to our Females in the scientific field, not balling hard on how to request for cash from men. P.S

That isn't the point of this thread anyway.
the point here is to encourage women to come into science and develop passion for it. not to discourage them by listing stereotypical limitations.

Teempakguy:

By all means then,let's tell the ladies they can do it...let's tell them that "what a man can do,a woman can do better"...let's not tell them that in its over 100 years of inception and with 870 winners,the Nobel prize has only been awarded 49 times to women.

I understand your need to encourage the women folk,but please remind them that it's a tough field out there.As someone here rightly pointed out,most of the women on your list are dead and have been so for a very long time!


I'm sorry if I come off as a bit chauvinistic but the facts are axiomatic....

Lol.

i concur with You!

See, i get your point. and I totally understand. however, i must state mine. Fact does not equal possibility. they CAN do it. in fact, it's more interesting when a lady is in science because it shows how brave she is. i wouldn't advice any lady to shy away from these fields. beyond the awards, science trains the mind to think. something that is helpful later in life. and one can never envisage the potential of someone who won't give up. and I really think that is the better point.

They should see it as a challenge. something to achieve. not as a barrier, or a proof that they can never achieve anything in life.

In the same realm, absolutely no blacks have actually been awarded a Nobel prize in science. does that make the whites better than us? probably yes . . . but does that make them perpetually better?

Raplinx:
i concur with You!

Well . . . thanks.

Teempakguy:
Well . . . thanks.

Great thread hun how it never made FP shocks me. If you were bashing women you'd have 10+ pages.

you made a list of most interesting women in the world and couldn't even place Kanwuliajara at number one or at least number 2 Kanwulia that changed lives that year?? Kanwulia that preserved an appreciable amount of humanity with her exceedingly inexhaustible wisdom?? mods please do me a favor.....and lock this thread imagine the racist snub making a entire list of oyibo gelz op bro are you seeking Green card?? madam can help you o...awon legal US citizen

Errrrrm. . .
Nwayor-nwayor biko nna!
I nefa reach dat kain status o!!!!
Haba!!!!!

Nice one OP but I also noticed thay most female don't get interested in science diacovery. Even when I talk to my sisters about stuffs like matter, energy, radioactivity, biochemical rxn, they don't pay attention and they say am running mad. All they care about is Brazilian hair, I phone 6, chatting, etc. Don't they know that for these things to be made someone had to sacrifice something They are enjoying the product of someone sweat yet, they don't want to know the mechnism of what they are using.

God bless my mama for inventing me
