Lise Meitner

I noticed Lise Meitner Street as we went through Berlin. This is an advert for a carpet and wallpaper shop! Lise Meitner was one of the greats of nuclear physics. She worked with Otto Hahn and others to discover nuclear fission. He got a Nobel Prize: she didn't. Her family was Jewish and she only just escaped from Nazi Germany. She lived most of the rest of her life in Sweden but is buried near Basingstoke in Hampshire. You should read her story in full. She is an inspiring woman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lise_Meitner
