1/ For the millionth time:
Women were FORBIDDEN to enter the labs of the Institute of Chemistry and Biochemistry (cause of hair) and because of this, in 1907 Lise and Hahn set up a lab in some carpenter's room.
Lise Meitner DEVELOPED a new way to analyze radioactive processes

2/ No one is saying that Hahn wasn't important, but Meitner *literally* had to explain to him what Einstein meant when talking about photons, quanta, and how it would help the understanding of waves.
Lise Meitner was incredible.
Lise Meitner was incredible.
3/ Meitner provided the interpretations for nuclear fission to be possible, but it became known as Hahn's discovery BECAUSE he was advised to disassociate from Meitner due to Nazi Germany and the fact that she was both a woman and Jewish.
4/4 This is what makes #WomenInSTEM today so frustrated, because this kind of thing is still going on.
