About this listen
Lise Meitner has fought for her entire life to be seen as a scientist, slowly building a career as a nuclear physicist in Berlin. When Adolf Hitler rises to power, the small gains she's made are snatched away. As a Jewish woman, Lise has a critical decision to make: is her passion for science worth her life?
An earlier version of this podcast mistakenly gave the wrong date for the bombing of Hiroshima. We apologize for the error.
