You may never have heard of her... /// but it is highly likely that you or someone close to you is alive today thanks to her. ///

Her name is Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin... /// the only British woman to have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. ///

Her mission was to make the invisible visible... /// using X-ray crystallography ///
a technique capable of revealing molecular structures that no one could see. ///

At the age of 20... /// she developed severe rheumatoid arthritis. /// Her hands, her most precious tools, began to deform. ///
Many told her to give up. /// She decided to ignore them. ///

And yet... she achieved three feats that changed history. ///

Penicillin (1945): she deciphered its structure. /// Thanks to this, it could be mass-produced and save millions of lives. ///

Vitamin B12 (1956): she determined an enormous structure without modern computers. /// This made it possible to treat pernicious anemia, which had previously been almost always fatal. ///

Insulin (1969): her obsession. /// She worked for over 30 years until she revealed its atomic structure. /// This discovery paved the way for synthetic insulin. ///

Dorothy Hodgkin died in 1994... /// but her legacy lives on in every life saved. ///
She demonstrated that great scientific revolutions... /// are born of patience, curiosity, and determination.
