A nuclear physicist who explained nuclear fission and co-calculated the amount of energy it produces. Meitner was an Austrian-Swedish physicist and one of those responsible for the discovery of the element protactinium and nuclear fission. While working on radioactivity at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Chemistry in Berlin, she discovered the radioactive isotope protactinium-231 in 1917.

It's a privelege to be inspiring future generations of women.
