Elements & Space
This scientist coined the term "radioactivity" and won two Nobel Prizes
Marie Curie
This scientist's work with X-ray photography was critical to understanding DNA.
Rosalin Franklin
Alice Ball developed an effective treatment for this chronic, historically stigmatized disease.
Leprosy
This brilliant mathematician calculated spaceflight paths for America's first astronauts.
Katherine Johnson
This German-British astronomer is famously known as a premier historic "comet hunter."
Caroline Herschel
Marie Curie named one of her discovered elements after this, her home country.
polonium
This is the famous numerical name given to the X-ray diffraction image captured by Rosalind Franklin.
Photo 51
Alice Ball´s sucessful technique became widely known by this medical name.
The Ball Method
Because they did complex calculations by hand, Katherine Johnson and her colleagues were called "human..." this.
"human computers"
Caroline Herschel worked closely in astronomy alongside this famous scientist, her brother.
William Herschel
This luminous, radioactive element was isolated by Marie Curie in 1911
Radium
Photo 51 proved that the structure of DNA is shaped like this.
a double helix
This traditional, thick plant extract was the raw material Alice Ball transformed to make it injectable.
chaulmoogra oil
This famous NASA space project aimed to put the first American astronaut into Earth's orbit.
Project Mercury
Caroline Herschel discovered multiple comets and these celestial clouds of dust and gas.
nebulae
During World War I, Marie Curie created mobile vehicles equipped with this medical technology. What is their name?
X-ray units Or "Little Curies"
This chemical law, supported by Marie-Anne Lavoisier’s documentation, states that matter cannot be created or destroyed.
the Law of Conservation of Mass
Alice Ball made the active agents of chaulmoogra oil soluble in this liquid so the body could absorb it safely.
Water-soluble / Injectable solution
Astronaut John Glenn famously refused to launch until Katherine Johnson manually verified these specific flight paths.
orbital trajectories
Caroline Herschel was the first woman to receive a financial salary for scientific work in this European country.
Great Britain? (Or the United Kingdom / England).
Marie Curie is the only person to win Nobel Prizes in these two distinct scientific fields
Physics and Chemistry
Alice Ball's successful technique became widely known by this medical name. Apart from DNA, Rosalind Franklin did groundbreaking structural research on this other nucleic acid and viruses.
RNA
Alice Ball broke barriers by becoming the first African American woman to earn a master's degree from this island university.
the University of Hawaii
Katherine Johnson later calculated the precise launch windows and trajectories for this historic 1969 moon landing mission.
Apollo 11
For her extensive astronomical catalogs, Caroline Herschel was awarded a gold medal by this prestigious British institution.
