In fact, she had *tons* to do with nuclear physics, but never received the credit she deserved—even after 19 Nobel Prize nominations in chemistry and 30 nominations in physics. Despite such challenges, Meitner approached her work with zeal that inspires us today. “Science makes people reach selflessly f
