Just been reading about Donna Strickland, co-discoverer of a very useful type of laser amplification.

'The research, published in Optics Communications (56 219), was Strickland’s first published paper.'

On a related topic, today's In Our Time is about Dorothy Hodgkin who won the 1964 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
