#5-11 - The tragic story of Mileva Marić-Einstein -ft. Dr. Pauline Gagnon

In this episode Juli talks to Pauline Gagnon, a particle physicist who has done a lot of research on Mileva Marić and has made it her mission to make her story more known. Pauline presents evidence that shows that it is very likely that she significantly contributed to the scientific breakthroughs that Albert Einstein is credited for. Due to various tragic circumstances, she was denied the credit and renown that her husband got. Pauline and Juli also discuss the destinies of other female scientists who lived around the same time as Mileva Marić and question the image of „the lone genius“.

You can find more information on Mileva Marić on Pauline’s website:
