Chien-Shiung Wu
The First Lady of Physics
Physics is not just a science, it's a way of thinking.
Born in China in 1912, I followed my curiosity across oceans and disciplines, earning my PhD at Columbia and proving that even the most sacred laws of physics can be questioned. My experiment changed the way we understand the universe — but to me, every day in the lab remains a quiet triumph. I drink tea, I cook, I read the papers — and I never stop wondering.
What I'm Into: parity violation, radiation detection, my notebooks from the 1950s, Chinese tea ceremonies, the hum of laboratory machines
