Happy Belated Birthday, Lise Meitner



Lise Meitner

I'm sorry I forgot your birthday.

You were an amazing woman and you should be remembered.

  1. I can't help wondering how much more advanced civilization would be if women had been allowed to contribute

  2. Agreeing with Jan. The Nobel Committee should be ashamed of overlooking her, too.

  3. Jan: Women contributed alright, they just never got credit for it. Imagine that piece of mobile $hit Obama getting a Nobel prize for doing nothing, while Lise, with actual accomplishments, went unrecognized. Well, at least my readers, all five of them, know who she was and that she impacted our world.

  4. Messymimi: I have as much regard for the Nobel committee as I do for the Olympic committee and the United Nations. They're up there in my estimation with the Clinton Crime Syndicate... pretending to help others when they're really enriching themselves.
