My first research experience was as a summer undergrad doing XRD on ceramics. I am old enough to remember the “cut and weigh” method being taught in school, but not old enough to have actually used it—that’s what computers are for. I tend to forget that there was a time before computers when scientists just had to do all this very complicated math by hand. What an amazing woman!

This was a great read, thank you for sharing! What an incredible life. I can only imagine what conversations with her would have been like.
