Lise Meitner was nominated 30 times for the Nobel Prize in physics and 19 times for the Nobel Prize in chemistry, but did not share the 1944 chemistry prize when it was awarded to Otto Hahn for nuclear fission.

The presentation will be given by Anthea Coster, Assitant Director and Principal Research Scientist at MIT Haystack Observatory.
