Geoff Rayner Canham: 12 Women Chemists

Geoff Rayner-Canham gives a talk entitled “12 Pioneering Women Chemists you Should Know About: But Probably Don’t”. This talk was presented on 18 June 2024.
More and more of the ‘forgotten’ women chemists in HERstory have come to light in recent years. So many women chemists who should have received widespread recognition. There have been books on women chemists who should have won Nobel prizes; who contributed to Periodic Table discoveries; and of course, our own research and subsequent books on British women chemists. What we want to focus upon in this PowerPoint presentation is the diversity of contributions that women chemists have made.
