Quote:

“AAUW has a long history of supporting women in the sciences, and we are thrilled to count another Nobel Prize winner among our ranks,” said AAUW Executive Director Linda D. Hallman, CAE. In 1920, AAUW awarded two-time Nobel Prize recipient Marie Curie a grant to assist with her groundbreaking research on radium. AAUW member Greg Mortenson, author of Three Cups of Tea, was nominated for the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his work supporting education for girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Here’s to the Nobel Laureates who aimed high and proved what is possible.

Throughout history, the achievements of women have been under recognized and under publicized. Thank you for doing your part in spreading the word.

Congrats to all of this year’s winners!
