| Introducing Lost Women of Science, a new podcast about the most remarkable people you’ve never heard of.
“Scientific American is partnering with the Lost Women of Science Initiative and podcast at a critical moment of self-reflection in science. We hope sharing the legacy of these women will help bring down barriers for women who are in or entering science today. The Lost Women of Science podcast will play a critical role, not just in widening out the scope and ambition of Scientific American’s podcast storytelling, but, more importantly, it will do the historical detective work to uncover stories that should never have been lost and show all interested listeners—in science and beyond—that our world would be different without these rediscovered women and their work.”
— Laura Helmuth, Editor in Chief
From the COVID vaccine to pulsars to computer programming, women are at the source of scientific discoveries, inventions and innovations that shape our lives. But in the origin stories we’ve come to accept about those discoveries, women are too often left out.
In partnership with PRX and Scientific American, Lost Women of Science brings the true stories to light. Season 1 looks at the life and work of Dr. Dorothy Andersen, the pathologist who first identified cystic fibrosis nearly 100 years ago, enabling discoveries that have turned a death sentence into a manageable disease.
