A woman makes steam in quantum #chemistry that acts between chemistry and #physics. It enables ab-initio calculations of molecules and their reactive behavior. Model methods and qualitative concepts explain and generalize phenomena and contribute to the theoretical understanding of interrelationships in chemistry.
LiC plans to publish the #autobiography of theoretical chemist Sigrid Peyerimhoff, Uni Bonn.

#OTD in 2000 Dr Florence Bell died.*

She was a pioneer in DNA research. In 1938 she described the periodic nature of #DNA nucleotides as being like a 'pile of pennies'.

Her work paved the way for that of Franklin, Gosling and Wilkins.

* well almost, it was actually yesterday (23/11) but I forgot to toot it.
