Lise Meitner: the physicist who actually split the atom and then got erased from her own story. Science didn’t give her the credit, but history remembers. #womeninscience #lisemeitner open.substack.com/pub/authenti...
#LiseMeitner was an Austrian physicist who helped discover #NuclearFission. Despite her key role, she was not included when her colleague won the #NobelPrize. As a #Jewish scientist during #WorldWarII, Meitner faced discrimination and had to flee Nazi Germany.

Thank you, @rougol.bsky.social!
@bhgross144.bsky.social, Ada Lovelace Day is always the second Tuesday in October, which next year is 13 Oct, so plenty of time to plan your celebration of #MarieCurie & #LiseMeitner! And don't forget to let us know what you've got cooked up!
The squares for Curium and Meitnerium from periodictable.com, featuring portraits of their respective namesakes, are presented above a caption "Only two women have chemical elements named after them. Both were born on November 7th." (I'm aware that there was some ambiguity surrounding Lise Meitner's birthday, but Ruth Lewin Sime's biography notes that Meitner celebrated the occasion on November 7.)
Happy birthday to the only two women with elements named after them on the periodic table: #MarieCurie & #LiseMeitner.
As I do every year, I will once again repeat my proposal that November 7 should be International #WomenInSTEM Day!

Sabías que Lise Meitner, unha xenial física, deu a clave para entender a fisión nuclear? 🔬 Traballou con Otto Hahn, pero o Nobel foi só para el. 🏆 Nominada 49 veces, nunca premiada. Unha inxustiza que non debemos esquecer. A ciencia é para todxs. #LiseMeitner #Ciencia
👩🔬🔬 In honour of #LiseMeitner, born on 7 November 1878!
🎊 This week we celebrate the birthday of Lise Meitner, one of the most remarkable #physicists of the 20th century.
🏫 At the #UniVienna, her legacy lives on in the Lise Meitner Lecture Hall, named in her honor.
Kernspaltung erklärt, Nobelpreis vergessen – Lise Meitner war die Heldin hinter dem Atom. Heute wäre ihr Todestag! #Physik #Kernspaltung #Frauenpower #LiseMeitner #Zweistein
Interesantísima y conmovedora biografía de #LiseMeitner. Historias heróicas, y mezquinas, de los grandes de la #Física del s.XX en la época más terrible d Europa. Sus cartas dicen todo de ella, su firmeza moral, la lealtad a sus amigos y el amor a la Física

You become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process
Don’t try to be the next me, Noether or Meitner. Just remember that if you want to do this stuff, you’re not alone

Monochrome real photographic postcard showing a view of the Palais de Justice in Brussels, Belgium. Published by J.C., not numbered. Postally unused, but with partial message, "Lieber Jutz" dated 2 October 1948 and with address of Mr Justinian Frisch, Bragevägen 12, Stockholm. Frisch, a German Jew who had emigrated to Sweden, was the brother-in-law of the notable nuclear physicist Lise Meitner. Lise Meitner was attending a conference at the Institut International de Physique Solvay in Brussels (27 September to 2 October 1948) and the handwriting is that of Lise Meitner. It seems that she never completed the message or posted it to Jutz. Very good condition, with very slight corner bumps.

Lise Meitner's discovery--made amidst society's dismissal of women in science, two world wars, and persecution by Nazi Germany--ushered in the nuclear age.
Here are my top highlights from "The Woman Who Split the Atom: The Life of Lise Meitner" by Marissa Moss.

In Our Time
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss #LiseMeitner, the only woman to have an atomic element named solely after her (Meitnerium), in recognition of her role in solving the question of nuclear fission.
🎖️ Tot i el seu paper fonamental, Meitner no va rebre el Premi Nobel. Només Hahn el va guanyar. Avui, la comunitat científica reconeix el seu llegat com a pionera i figura clau de la física del segle XX. Una dona brillant que va obrir camins per a moltes més. #LiseMeitner

Meitnerium is named after Lise Meitner, who discovered the process by which unstable atoms split and named it "fission." Its most stable known isotope lasts less than 5 seconds.
