Neutrons, Nazis, and Nuclear Fission
This week, Rosie goes in focus to tell the story of Lise Meitner - a nuclear physicist who was integral to the discovery of nuclear fission - and we discuss the challenges faced by women in science. Ash continues the nuclear theme with her SNPit about the naming of medical imaging.
