  • Women in Physics, 2000 Highlights
    By Rachel Ivie AIP Publication Number R-430 June, 2000 Katie Stowe Women in Physics, 2000 Highlights • An increasingly large number of girls have some exposure to physics by taking it in high school. By 1997, almost one-half of high school physics students were girls (Figure 1) . About 400,000 girls take high school physics each year. • Women’s participation in physics decreases with each step up the academic ladder. For example, more than two-fifths of high school physics students in 1993 were girls, but women earned less than one-fifth of bachelor’s degrees in physics five years later (Figures 1 and 3) . • Although women now earn more than one half of all bachelor’s degrees in the U.S., physics is not attracting women as quickly as other fields, including life sciences, chemistry, and engineering (Figures 4 and 5) . Compared to other fields, women are sorely underrepresented in physics at both the bachelor’s and PhD levels (Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, and Table 1) . • Twenty U.S. physics departments (excluding women’s colleges) had more than 40% female bachelor’s degree recipients during the five academic years 1994-98. This report lists these departments as well as women’s colleges that grant bachelor’s degrees in physics (Tables 2 and 3) . • The proportion of women teaching physics decreases as academic rank and level of the department increases (Table 4) . However, the percentage of women faculty members at each rank is at least as high as the percentage of women earning PhDs at various points in the past.

  • Physics in Your Future Introduces Physics and Careers in Physics to Young People, Their Parents, Teachers and Advisors
    TM American Physical Society • Committee on the Status of Women in Physics Chiara La Tessa of Brookhaven National Laboratory is inside the target room of the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory at Brookhaven. She is aligning a detector called EGG counter in the center of a beam – something that’s done before each experiment. Physics helps us understand the world around us, the world inside us, and the world beyond us. Physics is the most basic and fundamental science; it deals with how and why matter and energy act as they do. The laws of physics apply to force and motion, gravity, electricity, magnetism, sound, light and heat. They help us understand the physical world and develop products that people need. Mastering physics is fun and challenging. It involves working with others, as well as alone. You learn how to solve problems, observe things carefully, make measurements and keep accurate records. You can use these valuable skills for the rest of your life. They open doors to many good jobs. Physicists ask questions about the physical world and try to find exact answers. They are creative and persistent. Some do basic research. Their goal is to increase our knowledge of the universe. Others do applied research. They use basic knowledge to solve world problems such as food and energy supply, environmental protection, transportation, communication and defense. Physicists work in industry, educational institutions, government, and medical centers today. Most are active scientists and engineers. They do research and development, administration, and teaching. Others use their physics background in fields like publishing, sales, law, accounting and medicine.

Although he is known first of all for his numerous pioneering investigations and his eminence as a teacher, he very properly is a first-hand re porter and historian of some of the most momentous events in the history of science. Professor de Hevesy was born in Budapest August 1, 1885. He earned the doctoral degree at the University of Freiburg in 1908. He then went to Zurich for postgraduate work in physical chemistry. He was one of twenty in the audi ence attending Einstein's inaugural lecture as Associate Professor of Theoretical Physics. In 1911, to prepare for investigations suggested by Haber, he went to Rutherford's Laboratory in Manchester to become familiar with techniques for studying the conductivity of electricity in gases. During the years 1911-1914, he was associated with the discovery of the atomic nucleus, the use of a forerunner of Geiger's Beta Counter for detecting alpha particles, the setting up of the first X-ray spectograph by Moseley, and the discovery of cosmic rays by Hess. He visited Madame Curie in her laboratory many times after he began work with Radium D in 1912. Professor de Hevesy's most notable investigations started with his failure to separate Radium D (Pb21°) from large amounts of radioactive lead chloride, at Lord Rutherford's request.

  • Annotated Bibliography: Women in Physics, Astronomy, and Related Disciplines
    Annotated Bibliography: Women in Physics, Astronomy, and Related Disciplines Abir Am, Pnina and Dorinda Outram, eds. Uneasy Careers and Intimate Lives: Women in Science, 1787-1979. New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1987. Abir Am and Outram’s volume includes a collection of essays about women in science that highlight the intersection of personal and professional spheres. All of the articles argue that the careers of women scientists are influenced by their family lives and that their family lives are impacted because of their scientific careers. This text is significant in two ways: first, it is one of the earliest examples of scholarship that moves beyond the recovering women in science, but placing them in the context of their home and work environments. Second, it suggests that historians of science can no longer ignore the private lives of their historical subjects. This volume contains four articles relating to women in physics and astronomy: Marilyn Bailey Ogilvie’s “Marital Collaboration: An Approach to Science” (pages 104-125), Sally Gregory Kohlstedt’s “Maria Mitchell and the Advancement of Women in Science” (pages 129-146), Helena M. Pycior’s “Marie Curie’s ‘Anti-Natural Path’: Time Only for Science and Family” (pages 191-215), and Peggy Kidwell’s “Cecelia Payne-Gaposchkin: Astronomy in the Family” (pages 216-238). As a unit, the articles would constitute and interesting lesson on personal and professional influences. Individually, the articles could be incorporated into lessons on a single scientist, offering a new perspective on their activities at work and at home. It complements Pycior, Slack, and Abir Am’s Creative Couples in the Sciences and Lykknes, Opitz, and Van Tiggelen’s For Better of For Worse: Collaborative Couples in the Sciences, which also look at the intersection of the personal and professional.

  • Five Nobel Prizes in Curie's Family
    Five Nobel Prizes in Curie’s family JULIA SALAMON Nobel’s history The originator and a founder of the Nobel Prize is Alfred Bernhard Nobel. He was born in Stockholm on the 21 October 1833 and died in San Remo (Italia), 10 December 1896. This scientist and industrialist became famous for inventing dynamite, fake silk, synthetic skin and rubber. For these inventions he was awarded the John Fritz Medal. Alfred Nobel’s testament The first Nobel Prize wasn’t awarded to anyone during Nobel’s lifetime as the organization didn’t yet exist. It was Nobel’s last will to award people who did something for human history. The founder gave all his big fortune to founding this prize – the Nobel Prize in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace. Nobel’s Foundation came into existence on the 19 June 1900. It was created to award the prizes and dispose of Nobel’s fortune. Excerpt of Nobel’s testament Ja niżej podpisany, Alfred Nobel, oświadczam niniejszym, po długiej rozwadze, iż moja ostatnia wola odnośnie majątku, jest następująca. Wszystkie pozostałe po mnie, możliwe do zrealizowania aktywa, mają być rozdysponowane w sposób następujący: kapitał zostanie przez egzekutorów ulokowany bezpiecznie w papierach, tworzących fundusz, którego procenty każdego roku mają być rozdzielone w formie nagród tym, którzy w roku poprzedzającym przynieśli ludzkości największe korzyści. [...] Offering the prize The first event when the Nobel Prize was awarded took place in the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm in 1901. The Nobel Peace Prize was received by Jean Henri Dunant – the founder of the Red Cross, and Frédéric Passy.

Carmel, MD,1 and Charles J. Prestigiacomo, MD1–3 Departments of 1Neurological Surgery, 2Radiology, 3Neurology and Neuroscience, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Newark, New Jersey Pierre Curie, best known as a Nobel Laureate in Physics for his co-contributions to the field of radioactivity alongside research partner and wife Marie Curie, died suddenly in 1906 from a street accident in Paris. Tragically, his skull was crushed under the wheel of a horse-drawn carriage. This article attempts to honor the life and achievements of Pierre Curie, whose trailblazing work in radioactivity and piezoelectricity set into motion a wide range of technological develop- ments that have culminated in the advent of numerous techniques used in neurological surgery today. These innovations include brachytherapy, Gamma Knife radiosurgery, focused ultrasound, and haptic feedback in robotic surgery. http://thejns.org/doi/abs/10.3171/2015.4.FOCUS15102 KEY WORDS Pierre Curie; piezoelectricity; radium brachytherapy; Gamma Knife; focused ultrasound; haptic feedback IERRE Curie (Fig. 1) was a man of singular ability in brother Jacques.6 Through the liberal attitude and support the sciences.
