Crosspost: Celebrating Women in the Physical Sciences

This month AIP is highlighting achievements and challenges for women in the physical sciences community at aip.org. Today we're crossposting these articles to draw more attention to women in science for Women's History Month.

"Zoe Adams, a graduate student at the University of Maryland and 2025 intern at the Niels Bohr Library & Archives, is on a mission to ensure the contributions of women in science are never lost. In the video below, Zoe discusses her work processing the papers of Gloria Lubkin, a pioneering physicist and longtime editor of Physics Today, and why making these historical materials accessible is vital for the future of science.
