Chien-Shiung Wu - The Spin Doctor of Physics
Nicknamed the First Lady of Physics and the Chinese Madame Curie, Chien-Shiung Wu was THE world's top experimental physicist for decades. Most frequently recognized for her experiment concerning the conservation of parity (also called simply, the "Wu experiment"), Chien-Shiung was involved with numerous other important projects within nuclear physics in the mid 1900s, including the Manhattan Project!
Follow us as we explore the fascinating world of beta radiation, how nuclear fission works, and the contributions to nuclear physics by Chien-Shiung Wu in episode six of The Inventing HerStory Podcast.
