Throwback Tuesday: Dorothy Hodgkin

When I saw the Google Doodle yesterday, I was inspired! 


It was for Dorothy Hodgkin, a British Biochemist, who determined the structure of Insulin.


She was the third woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The only other 2 women awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was Marie Curie and her daughter Irene Joliot-Curie.


An interesting random fact is that she was born in Cairo, Egypt. Alas I wasn't ;)
