Elements: Dorothy Hodgkin, Patterns and the Nobel Prize

Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1964 yet, half a century later, she is still the only British woman scientist to have been so honoured. Her lifelong interest in natural and artificial patterns began in childhood, and led to a career analysing the arrangements of atoms in crystals of biologically-important molecules such as penicillin and insulin. Hodgkin’s biographer Georgina Ferry discusses the many factors that led to her exceptional success.
