When scientists first split the atom, they didn’t realize what they’d done until physicist Lise Meitner figured out they had discovered what we now call nuclear fission.

Thanks for pointing out that the original title for this episode could also apply to Rutherford! We've updated it to be more specific about the type of atom-splitting that led to Meitner's discovery of nuclear fission.
I gotta say, having an element named after you is cooler than a nobel
Both Lise Meitner and Otto Hahn split uranium by shooting it with neutrons, but... Hahn shot first!
WE'RE ALL HERE FROM SPONGEBOB
I had a question, "If I injure my birthmark will it grow back into normal skin or a birthmark again?"
When will you guys hire a dude called Bob, so we can call him SciShow Bob?
So this episode is basically: "Great Minds in Physics: Lise Meitner" without saying her name in the title?
Hair catching fire was a BS reason.
Not Dr. Meitner’s intention, but her discovery did make some craters on Earth, so naming craters on Luna and Venus in her honor is certainly appropriate.
Hey I recognize this guy. He's the reason I passed biology lol
Yes, finally, a video about Lise Meitner! Not enough people know about her, which is too bad, because she has this /awesome/ life story and is seriously badass.
Meitner: Careful guys. This stuff could be used create a bomb.
It's one thing for Hahn to have got the award, but kind of of shitty that Hahn didn't acknowledge her as deserving in sharing in the award. ☹️
Hey Sci Show. How do Different animals create Venom. Like snakes and jellyfish. How is it actually created and why the effects are what they are, but why anti venom lessens the effects. Great video btw
I did a project on Meitner in high school physics. She's just really cool, and you guys did a great job giving her the recognition she deserves.
Honestly so stoked to learn about another female scientist that has made such huge breakthroughs!! Hats off to Lisa, I can only imagine the excitement she felt when figuring out what was really going on =)

"After the war... Nobel prize in Chemistry for discovering Nuclear Fission to Otto Hahn..."
What do nuclear scientists eat?
History and science, both my favorite subjects.
