The Dhaka Times Desk Even in this age of modern science you can name few female scientists. There are many of them whose contribution to science is undeniable. Here are the profiles of six of those dedicated science women.
1. Ada Lovelace King Byron
Her other identity is that she is the daughter of the famous poet Lord Byron. His father left them after one month of birth. Lord Byron was a wanderer by nature. Ada has tried since childhood to abandon the wandering nature. So he chose hard logic and basic mathematics. His teacher was Charles Babbage, the father of Analytical Engine. Around 1842, when Babbage began working on the differential engine, Ada began writing programming for it. And it is considered the first algorithm of computer programming. As a result, he is the world's first computer programmer.
2. Amy Noether
Amy Noether has been called the Athena of mathematics. Modern mathematics could not have been imagined without Amy Noether. Noether's subject was abstract algebra. One of his important notable works is the Notherium theorem. He has made significant contributions to the law of conservation of momentum and the law of conservation of energy in physics. Also his formulas play a strong role in space science especially in black hole research. She is called the mother of modern mathematics for her contribution to the fertile revolution of modern mathematics. A portion of the Moon is named after him, as are several asteroids in the Solar System.
3. Mary Anning
Mary Anning was born in 1799 to a working class family. He was named after his late sister. His father was a carpenter and he used to find fossils to sell to travelers. Anning first developed an interest in geology while going out with her father. As a result, he later made his debut as a geologist. In the early 19th century, he made revolutionary discoveries in fossil research. The mystery of the dinosaurs unfolds at his hands. Anning gradually gained fame and made progress in uncovering fossils. As a result of the popularity of her name, "She Sell Sea Shell" became popular. He found fish fossils when he was only 12 years old while working with his brother. In recognition of his contributions, paleontology occupies a special place in science today.

4. Lise Mittner
Einstein called her the Marie Curie of Germany. Mittner's biography is somewhat heartbreaking. Mittner was born into a family where higher education was strictly prohibited. In 1905, Mittner received his PhD in physics from the University of Vienna. He later worked with Max Planck, the father of quantum physics. He then began working with the chemist Otto Hahn and it was here that he invented the groundbreaking nuclear fission reaction. He was forced to emigrate when the Nazis occupied Germany in 1930. Scientist Otto Hahn was nominated for the 1944 Nobel Prize. He never mentions Mittner by name in his research paper. Because he did not want Mittner to share his Nobel. As a result, Mittner was deprived of the Nobel.
5. Barbara McClintock
Barbara McClintock studied botany at Cornell University. His subject of study was genetics. He later became one of the leaders of Cornell University's genetics program. He discovered chromosomes while researching the genetics of maize. Determine which pair is responsible for heredity. His research on chromosomes later revolutionized medicine. The overall characteristics of humans emerge through DNA and chromosomes. This has led to important topics like biotechnology and genetic engineering. In recognition of his contribution, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1983.
6. Dorothy Hodgkin
Dorothy was born in Egypt. His parents were archaeologists. After World War I, he moved to England and began his studies. His subject of study was chemistry. He discovered steroids during his advanced studies in X-ray crystallography. He later won the Nobel Prize for his contribution to this discovery. His research led to the creation of psychology.
Many other unknown women scientists have contributed to this advancement in science today. We present a little of it here.
