Clara Immerwahr: A Great Chemist Undone


Listen Later

The history of science is full of stories of great female scientists that were reduced and stifled by those around them. Clara Immerwahr was the first German woman to receive a PhD in chemistry.

A brilliant scientist in her own right, Clara's life and career were cut short after her marriage to the renowned chemist and Nobel Prize recipient Fritz Haber.

In this video, we discuss Clara's overlooked contributions and the challenges she faced. This is very much a story of lost potential, but it serves as a reminder to all that we must do all we can to protect the rights and freedoms of women, as they become increasingly challenged.

Long Live Clara & Every Female Scientist... Past, Present, and Future.
