1. Introduction It´s a project about the women in science and the role that performed a the long in the history It´s a project in order to pay tribute to women because they worked hard to be as important and known as men and because was the day of the women in science The steps that we followed in order to made this project it was: First: Each one we take ten women in science and we put information about they Second: Then we look for an anecdote and a quote. Third: We come together as a group and put all the women in a joint document. Then: We add an introduction and a conclusion. Finally: We expose it to the class


Hypatia (Alexandría 350 - 415) She was an astronaut and a mathematician Anecdote: The life of Hypatia is a mistery Quote: “Regardless of our skin and skin”

Catherine ChamiĂŠ (Russia 1888 - 1950). She was a botanist. Anecdote: She worked in Marie Curie's laboratory as an assistant and she did not receive any money.


Alice Ball (United States 1892-1916) She was a chemist. Anecdote: There was no cure for leprosy, until Alice studied some properties of a tree oil and created an extract that could be injected with very good results. But Alice died and it was published without mentioning her


Gerty Cori (Czech Republic 1896- 1957) She was a biochemist Anecdote: She was the first woman to be accepted in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Charles of Prague. There she met Carl and together they discovered how glucose is broken down by enzymes in the body to release energy Quote: “If we ever travel far in the universe to another planet with intelligent life, let's just make patterns in their crops and leave�

Barbara McClintock ( United States 1902-1992) She was a Cytogeneticist Anecdote: Studying the genome of corn, that is, observing the components of its ADN, she saw for the first time that there was a series of genetic sequences that were called transposons, her work started in 1944. This investigation served her to obtain the Nobel Prize of Medicine in 1984 Quote: “It may seem unfair to reward a person for having so much pleasure in recent years, asking the corn plant to solve specific problems and then see their answers�


Dorothy Vaughan ( United States 1910 - 2008) She was a mathematician Anecdote: When NASA bought the first IBM computer only a few people in the world knew how to use it for business and nobody for space travel and Dorothy learned the programming language and managed to run the system Quote: “You act right, you are right. That’s for certain.”


Chien - Shiung wu (China 1912 - 1997). She was a physicist. Anecdote: She went to USA to study physics and when she arrived, she met a student who showed her the laboratories.

Brenda Milner ( United Kingdom 1918) She was a neuropsychologist. Anecdote: She is considered a founder of Neuropsychology, realizing that the brain has at least two different memory systems. Quote: "You hear too much, in my opinion, about applying what you're doing into the practical world, that when you put in a research project, you should just show how it's going to spin off into practical things, and I think there is a danger, particularly in this government maybe, to be wanting to bypass that gruelling basic science part and look for a quick translation."


Katherine Johnson ( United States 1918) She was a physicist,scientist and mathematician Anecdote: Astronaut John Glenn was going to take off the Earth's orbits, said he didn't trust the computer and asked Katherine to check the calculations.
