Women in Physics started Spotlight Scientist in the 1998 Spring Semester. It is simultaneously displayed on this web page and on a bulletin board on the second floor of the Physics Building. The goal is to educate and inform people about women's important contributions to the field of science. A new Spotlight Scientist is presented eight times a year: February, March, April, Summer, September, October, November, and Winter.

Inge Lemann is the Spotlight Scientist for the summer of 1998. Read about her life and achievements as a scientist here.

Past recipients of Women in Physics' Spotlight Scientist award are listed below.

• Rosalyn Sussman Yalow, (February/March 1998)

All it takes for a scientist to be designated a WiP Spotlight Scientist is that they are a woman who has advanced the field of science. All types of scientists are chosen.
