About Lost Women of Science
For every Marie Curie or Rosalind Franklin whose story has been told, hundreds of female scientists remain unknown to the public at large. In this series, we illuminate the lives and work of a diverse array of groundbreaking scientists who, because of time, place and gender, have gone largely unrecognized. Each season we focus on a different scientist, putting her narrative into context, explaining not just the science but also the social and historical conditions in which she lived and worked. We also bring these stories to the present, painting a full picture of how her work endures.

GLP-1. But the full sequence wasn't biologically active. It had to be cut down before it could do anything in the body. Cut it wrong, and it's nothing more than an inactive protein. Graham Bell hypothesized where to cut it, and, well, he got it partially right. Bell's theory was that the active form of GLP-1 in the body consisted of a sequence of 37 amino acids. […]
