We look back at the life of Helen Newton Turner, an Australian statistician and a statistical geneticist who made some amazing contributions to science starting in the 1930s and spanning over a 40 year career.
Helen started off as a secretary, and worked her way up to become an accomplished statistician, principle scientist and world-renowned leader of CSIRO's program in sheep breeding research.
