A portrait of Louise Dolan downloaded from UCLA's "Contributions of 20th Century Women to Physics" page. She is seen from the side, smiling and looking down a bit and to the left of the camera. Dolan has dark hair that comes down just below her ears, and she is wearing a white knit top. She appears to be outside, but the background is out of focus.
Physicist Louise Dolan was born #OTD in 1950. Author of a foundational paper on symmetries and phase transitions at finite temperature, she received the @apsphysics.bsky.social's Maria Goeppert-Mayer Award for discovering uses of Kac-Moody algebras in field and string theory. 🧪 ⚛️ 👩🔬

Her right hand rests on a lab bench with various pieces of equipment set upon it.
Physicist Hedwig Kohn was born #OTD in 1887. Known for her work on flame spectroscopy and black body emissions, she was one of only three women teaching university physics in Germany at the outbreak of WWII. 🧪 ⚛️ 👩🔬
