A Short But Influential Career: Harriet Brooks

Harriet Brooks, the first female nuclear physicist in Canadian history, would go on to revolutionize nuclear science before choosing to end her career to focus on her family. During her physics career, she would help three physicists win Nobel Prizes, and would change nuclear science forever. Her story is much more than that though, and in this episode we will learn about her life and speak with her great grand-niece, Ellen Denny, who is writing a play about her famous ancestor.
