Another celebration by Google - Happy Birthday Dorothy Hodgkin

Google doodle to celebrates Dorothy Hodgkin's birthday

Today, Google celebrates the birthday of Dorothy Hodgkin, a British chemistry. Do you wonder who is Dorothy? If you look on Wikipedia,

Dorothy Mary Hodgkin, (12 May 1910 – 29 July 1994), was a British chemist, credited with the development of protein crystallography. She advanced the technique of X-ray crystallography, a method used to determine the three-dimensional structures of bio-molecules. Among her most influential discoveries are the confirmation of the structure of penicillin that Ernst Boris Chain and Edward Abrahamhad previously surmised, and then the structure of vitamin B12, for which she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. She was the third woman to win the prestigious Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

 When I searched more, I found this,

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1964 was awarded to Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin "for her determinations by X-ray techniques of the structures of important biochemical substances".

Every past discoveries and researches were the foundation of our life now. The science and technology grow because we constantly questioning things. Like a child, a curious child who wants to learn. And that is what Dorothy did. She said,

I became captivated by the edifices chemists had raised through experiment and imagination — but still I had a lurking question. Would it not be better if one could really 'see' whether molecules as complicated as the sterols, or strychnine were just as experiment suggested?

That's it for today. Thanks for reading this. See you  :)
