In Canada, University of Waterloo professor Donna Strickland will share the Nobel Prize in Physics for her work on creating advanced lasers. Strickland is just the third woman ever to win a Nobel physics prize and the first since 1963. Strickland’s prize comes just three weeks after astrophysicist Jocelyn Bell Burnell was awarded the Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics 50 years after she made a historic astronomical discovery—only to have her male adviser take credit and receive a Nobel Prize for her work. Bell Burnell will donate her $3 million award to fund scholarships for women, refugees and other underrepresented groups.
