   Austrian Physicist Lise Meitner died #OTD in 1968.

   She shared the Enrico Fermi Award (1966) with the chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann for their joint research that led to the discovery of uranium fission. Despite her crucial role in its discovery, Meitner was excluded from the 1944 Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to Hahn. Meitner's exclusion from the Nobel Prize remains controversial. However, her contributions to physics are undeniable.
