Was a British chemist, credited with the discovery of protein crystallography.She pioneered the technique of X-ray crystallography, a method used to determine the three dimensional structures of biomolecules. Among her most influential discoveries are the determination of the structure of penicillin and vitamin B12, for which she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. In 1969, after 35 years of work and five years after winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Hodgkin was able to decipher the structure of insulin. She is regarded as one of the foremost scientists in the field of X-Ray crystallography studies of natural molecules. Besides her extraordinary scientific abilities, she was unassuming, very communicative, and passionate about social inequalities and peace.

Was an English mathematician and physicist most famous for the development of numerical analysis and its application to atomic physics.After the end of World War I, Hartree returned to Cambridge. In 1921, a visit by Niels Bohr to Cambridge inspired Douglas to apply his knowledge of numerical analysis to the solution of differential equations for the calculation of atomic wavefunctions. Later that year, Douglas graduated with a Second Class degree in natural sciences. He later obtained his Ph.D. in 1926. Even at this stage, he was applying his numerical skill to problems in quantum mechanics and developing what came to be known as the Hartree-Fock method, making possible calculations that had previously been seen as intractable.
