From The Vault: The Woman Who Knocked Science Sideways
Manage episode 408907472 series 2519747
We didn’t want to let Women’s History Month pass without a tip of the hat to one of the towering figures we’ve featured here on PORTRAITS.
Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu was a rockstar experimental physicist who worked with Oppenheimer on the Manhattan Project. She also met the pope, and inspired a Chinese opera. But here in the United States, she didn’t always get the recognition she deserved. At least not until her granddaughter, Jada Yuan, took up her story. This episode originally aired in 2022.
See the portraits we discuss:
Tsung-Dao Lee, Nobel Laureate
Chen-Ning Yang, Nobel Laureate
Also, check out Jada Yuan’s article about her grandmother here!
