THANK YOU MADAM SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS COLLEAGUES AS AS YOU
KNOW WELL ONE YEAR AGO TODAY.
I ALONG WITH TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND OF MY CONSTITUENTS WERE
EVACUATED. AS A RESULT OF THE
SPILLWAY FAILURES AT ORVILLE
DAN.
WE LEFT.
NOT KNOWING IF WE WOULD EVEN
HAVE A HOME TO RETURN TO.
BUT WE CAME BACK VOWING NEVER
AGAIN.
THIS DISASTER JEOPARDIZE LIVES
PROPERTY.
AND CALIFORNIA'S WATER SUPPLY
AND CONVEYANCE SYSTEM. AND
SHOULD BE A WAKE UP CALL. FOR US
ALL.
THAT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO
ENSURE THE SAFETY. AND INTEGRITY
OF OUR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE.
THE GOVERNOR TOOK SOME GOOD
INITIAL STEPS LAST YEAR AND.
IN THE RESOURCES TRAILER BILL
BY UPDATING OUR WRISTS
CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM.
AND DOING A COMPLETE
RECONNAISSANCE OF OUR DAM
SPILLWAYS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
TO SUPPLEMENT THE STEPS AB
TWELVE SEVENTY.
CO AUTHORED BY SENATOR NIELSEN.
AND ALSO MY COLLEAGUE FROM
STOCKTON.
I HELPS TO ADDRESS DEFICIENCIES
IN OUR DAM SAFETY INSPECTIONS
AND EVALUATIONS.
MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE.
OUR WORK IS NOT DONE BY PASSING
THIS BILL TODAY BUT IT'S AN
IMPORTANT FIRST STEP.
INCLUDING CHANGING THE DAM
SAFETY STRUCTURE.
AND CULTURE.
ADD THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES.
IMPROVING AND UPGRADING.
THE INFRASTRUCTURE AT ORVILLE
DAM.
AND MAKING THIS FACILITY TRULY
WORK FOR OROVILLE. AND THE
COMMUNITIES DOWNSTREAM.
THE FORENSIC REPORT WHICH MANY
OF YOU HAVE SEEN. IDENTIFIED THE
ROOT CAUSES OF THE FAILURE.
AND THAT REPORT.
IDENTIFIED THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN
MISSING.
IN LIGHT OF THIS WE HAVE BEEN
WORKING WITH THE ADMINISTRATION
AND THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES.
TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES
IDENTIFIED IN THE REPORT.
INCLUDING INSPECTIONS.
AB TWELVE SEVENTY WILL CODIFY.
THE DAM SAFETY INSPECTION
SCHEDULE. PRIOR TO THIS.
THIS THOSE STATUTES SAID DAMN
SHALL BE INSPECTED FROM TIME TO
TIME.
I'M SURE YOU CAN ALL AGREE WITH
ME THAT WAS NOT SUFFICIENT
LANGUAGE THIS BILL ALSO REQUIRES
THE DEPARTMENT TO WORK WITH AN
INDEPENDENT DAM SAFETY AND RISK
MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION. TO
UPDATE DAM SAFETY PROTOCOLS.
THESE PROTOCOLS MUST INCLUDE
THINGS IDENTIFIED BY THE
FORENSIC REPORT LIKE REVIEW OF
THE ORIGINAL DESIGN AND
CONSTRUCTION.
I THINK ALL MY COLLEAGUES FOR
WORKING WITH ME ON THIS ISSUE
AND MANY OTHERS RELATING TO THE
OROVILLE DAM CRISIS AND I ASK
FOR YOUR SUPPORT. OF AB TWELVE
SEVENTY THANK YOU MEMBERS.
THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER EGGMAN
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MADAM SPEAKER MEMBERS
I RISE IN SUPPORT IS A CO AUTHOR
OF AB TWELVE SEVENTY.
WE'VE HAD TO OVERSIGHT HEARINGS
WE'VE BEEN UP TO THE DAM
MULTIPLE TIMES TO REALLY TRY TO
DECONSTRUCT WHAT HAPPENED UP
THERE. EVERYBODY CAN AGREE THAT
IS THE THE LYNCH PIN OF OUR
CALIFORNIA WATER SUPPLY.
TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT
CATASTROPHIC OCCUR SHOULD BE A
WAKE UP CALL FOR ALL OF US.
AND TO CERTAINLY WHAT WE'VE
HEARD IN THE HEARINGS AND
EVERYWHERE ELSE IS THAT WHILE
PEOPLE WERE DOING INSPECTIONS IT
WAS DONE BASED ON ACCEPTING THE
SCIENCE FROM SINCE THE NINETEEN
SIXTIES. AS WE KNOW OUR
KNOWLEDGE AS AS EVOLVED AS WE
KNOW OUR INFRASTRUCTURE ALL OF
IT IS CRUMBLING AND NEED IS IN
THE NEED OF A LOT OF UPDATE. AND
WE ALSO THE NEED TO LOOK BACK AT
THE PLANS ARE NOT JUST CONTINUE
TO LOOK AT WHAT IS THERE NOW BUT
LOOK UNDERNEATH.
THEY THOUGHT THAT DAM WAS
ATTACHED A BEDROCK IT WAS NOT
THAT WAS THE INITIAL PLANS SO TO
BE ABLE TO GO BACK LATER.
MEMBERS ALSO BE WHERE THIS ALL
GOING TO COST.
EXPEDITION RESOURCES AND TIME
BUT IT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE
SAFETY OF CALIFORNIA WE CANNOT
BE THE SIXTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN
THE WORLD AND HAVE
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT CONTINUES TO
CRUMBLE AROUND US. RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE AND AS MY.
COLLEAGUE FROM NICHOLAS SAYS
THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME WE'LL
BE TALKING ABOUT HOW WE CONTINUE
AND TO PROVE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE
AND KEEP CALIFORNIA SAFE AND
FUNCTIONING.

DEBATE MISTER GALLAGHER DO YOU
FEEL THE NEED TO CLOSE.

MADAM CLERK PLEASE CLOSE THE
ROLE IN TELLING THE VOTES SIXTY
EIGHT.
I KNOW ZERO ON THE URGENCY SIXTY
EIGHT I KNOW ZERO ON THEM
MEASURE THE SENATE AMENDMENTS
ARE CONCURRED IN.
ITEMS TWO THROUGH SIX WILL BE
PASS AND RETAIN.
THE CLERK WILL READ ITEM SEVEN
ACR ONE FIFTY FIVE.
ASSEMBLY CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
ONE FIFTY FIVE BY SOME AMBER
BAKER BELT OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S
BIRTHDAY.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER BAKER YOUR
RECOGNIZE.
THANK YOU MADAM SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS I RISE TODAY TO ASK FOR
YOUR SUPPORT OF ACR ONE FIFTY
FIVE AND TO SAY IT IS A GREAT
HONOR TO PRESENT THIS
RESOLUTION.
RECOGNIZING TODAY AS ABRAHAM
LINCOLN DAY.
EVERY MAKING WAS BORN THIS DAY
IN EIGHTEEN OH NINE IN KENTUCKY.
AND.
I HAVE SOMETIMES WERE ASK
THIS QUESTIONS FROM SCHOOL
CHILDREN ARE FROM OTHERS WHO SAY
IF YOU WERE TO SPEND TIME IN
HISTORY. OR TIME WITH ANYONE IN
HISTORY MAYBE THREE PEOPLE WHO
WOULD THAT BE A MY LIST AS LONG
AS I'M SURE YEARS MAYBE AS WELL
BUT ABRAHAM LINCOLN IS ALWAYS ON
THAT LIST.
AND ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IS
NOT ALL BECAUSE OF THE
SIGNIFICANT PATTY HAD HONOR
HISTORY BUT I THINK YOU'LL BE SO
FASCINATING TO HAVE KNOWN.
WITHOUT PRESIDENT'S PERSONALITY
WAS TRULY LIKE WHAT HIS DEMEANOR
WAS HIS ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE
ONE ON ONE IN PERSON WHICH WE
WE.
HAVEN'T AND WILL NEVER HAVE A
CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE.
AND TO SEE HOW MUCH WE MAY HAVE
EXAGGERATED HIS GREATNESS IN
TERMS OF HOW NICE A PERSON HE
WAS HOW GIVING AND WHAT A GREAT
COMMUNICATOR.
BUT ONE THING YOU CAN NOT
EXAGGERATE IS THE IMPACT HE HAD
ON THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY.
AND FREEDOM NOT JUST IN UNITED
STATES BUT AROUND THE WORLD.
AND WE SAW THAT THROUGH ONE OF
HIS GREAT TRAITS WHICH IS
COMPLETE AND TOTAL ABSTINENCE
AND DETERMINATION TO KEEP OUR
UNION TOGETHER.
WE HAD EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO CUT
AND RUN AND SAY WE'RE DONE.
SO MUCH FOR THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE
GETTYSBURG ADDRESS.
RE ASK THE QUESTION IS A COUNTRY
THAT'S CONCEIVED IN LIBERTY.
THE PROPOSITION THAT ALL MEN ARE
CREATED EQUAL EQUAL ABLE TO
ENSURE OR ARE WE DONE IN
HISTORY.
ARE WE ABLE TO HAVE A COUNTRY
LIKE THAT OR DO WE NEED TO
REVERT BACK TO THE WAY IT USED
TO BE CAN WE SEE HIM IN PROGRESS
IN FREEDOM.
AND.
HE WAS.
ABLE TO EXPRESS THAT THAT
MISSION OF OUR COUNTRY THE NEED
TO COMPLETELY FULFILL.
THE PROMISE AND THE TRUTH OF THE
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND
THANKFULLY HE DID THAT BECAUSE
EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS ROOM
IS HERE FOR MANY PEOPLE HAVE AN
INFLUENCE ON YOU BUT I THINK
ALSO BECAUSE ABRAHAM LINCOLN DID
THAT. AND PRESERVED OUR UNION.
AND ALSO OF COURSE HE WAS
COMPLETELY OBSTINATE IN FIGHTING
TO END SLAVERY AND PASSED THE
THIRTEENTH AMENDMENT.
HE HAD MANY OPPORTUNITIES IN
HISTORY TO HAVE PEACE WITH THE
SOUTH WITHOUT PASSING THE
THIRTEENTH AMENDMENT TO ABOLISH
SLAVERY AND ALL FORMS OF
INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE.
HE COULD HAVE AGAIN CUT AND RUN.
HE COULD HAVE SAID NO THAT'S NOT
IMPORTANT I JUST WANNA KEEP THE
UNION TOGETHER BUT HE WAS
DETERMINED TO END SLAVERY. SO
MUCH SO THAT HE HAD AN AMENDMENT
TO THE CONSTITUTION WHEN HE WAS
VERY MUCH OPPOSED TO AMENDMENTS
HE THOUGHT THE CONSTITUTION IS
FINE THE WAY IT WAS.
AND EVEN SCIENCE THE ORIGINAL
AND GROSSED COPY OF THE
THIRTEENTH AMENDMENT PERSONALLY
EVEN THOUGH THAT'S NOT REQUIRED.
AND SO THEY FULLY HE WAS
OBSTINATE AND DETERMINED IN
KEEPING OUR UNION TOGETHER AND
FIGHTING TO END SLAVERY.
.
I THINK YOU CAN SEE IT IN ONE
QUOTE THAT IS PARTICULARLY
FAMOUS FOR WHICH IS BE SURE YOU
PUT YOUR FEET IN THE RIGHT
PLACE.
AND STAND FIRM.
DON'T GIVE UP.
BUT WHAT'S ALSO INTERESTING
ABOUT LINCOLN I THINK.
IS THAT HE WAS JUST AS COMMITTED
TO RECONCILIATION. AND HEALING
AND GRACE AFTER YOU HAD FOUGHT
THAT BATTLE FIRMLY KEPT YOUR
FEET FIRM AND DEFEATED SOMEONE.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE
SECOND INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
WHERE HE ACTUALLY SAYS WITH
MALICE TOWARDS NINE AND CHARITY
TOWARDS ALL WE'RE GOING TO TAKE
CARE OF THE CONFEDERATE WIDOW?
WHOSE WHOSE HUSBAND OR WHO
SIGNED FOUGHT TO KILL UNION
SOLDIERS.
AND THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY GRACE
AND LEADERSHIP.
AND THIS WASN'T JUST SOMETHING
THAT HE. WAS SUGGESTING WE DO.
WHEN.
WHERE PERSONALLY SLIGHTED WHICH
OFTEN HAPPENS IN POLITICS
AND IT WASN'T JUST SOMETHING
THAT WAS A A PRIVATE?
OPPORTUNITY TO RECONCILE AND
HAVE GRACE TOWARD SOMEONE ELSE
HE WAS ON THE WORLD STAGE IN IN
HIS SECOND INAUGURAL SUGGESTED
THAT WE FORGIVE AND MOVE ON.
REALLY REALLY HARD TO DO YOU.
AND THANKFULLY HE DID BECAUSE
AGAIN I THINK WE ARE ALL HERE
THANKS TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
AND I I BRING THIS RESOLUTION
AGAIN THIS YEAR JUST AS I HAVE
IN THE PAST WITH A REQUEST FOR
PERMISSION TO USE A PROP WITHOUT
OBJECTION.
MY FATHER GOT ME THIS REPLICA OF
LINCOLN AT THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL.
WHEN I GRADUATED LAW SCHOOL.
HE REALLY WAS HOPING THAT IT
WOULDN'T BE A LAWYER BUT SO MUCH
FOR THAT.
AND SOMETHING IT'S URBAN LEGEND
I THINK IT'S TRUE THERE'S A
REASON WHY LINCOLN HAS A FAST
CLOSED AT THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL
AND THAT IS THAT DETERMINATION
TO FIND YOUR PLACE IN THE RIGHT
AND STAND. TOTALLY FIRM BUT HIS
OTHER HAND IS OPEN.
TOWARDS RECONCILIATION.
REACHING OUT AND MOVING FORWARD
AND SO I AM THANKFUL.
TO BE HERE AND HAVE THE HONOR TO
HAVE THIS RESOLUTION FOR US TO
VOTE ON VERY GRATEFUL FOR
LINCOLN AND THE THE LEGACY HAS
NOT ONLY ON THE UNITED STATES
BUT THE WORLD AND I RESPECTFULLY
ASK YOUR AYE VOTE. AND YOU ASK
FOR CO AUTHORS THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER QUIRK
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU SPEAKER AND MEMBERS.
I STAND IN SUPPORT OF THIS
RESOLUTION.
IN THE MIDST OF A BETTER CIVIL
WAR.
RECONCILE ALL IN THE PEACE.
NEVER WAVERED.
IN EIGHTEEN SIXTY FOUR HE RAN ON
A UNITY TICKET WITH THE
DEMOCRATS.
FROM TENNESSEE.
OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS I'VE
SEEN THIS WORK ON VARIOUS PIECES
OF LEGISLATION.
SUCH AS JAMES GALLAGHER'S
THAT WE HAD THIS MORNING.
AND THE WORK ACROSS PARTY LINES.
THAT IS SOMETHING LIKE AND
STRIVE FOR AS PRESIDENT.
TO FIND AREAS OF COMMON INTEREST
AND WORK TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE IT.
PERMISSION TO READ BATUM SPEAKER
WITHOUT OBJECTION.
IN THE SECOND INAUGURAL ADDRESS
LINCOLN SAID.
WITH MALICE TOWARD DAWN.
WITH CHARITY FOR ALL.
WITH FIRMNESS IN THE RIGHT AS
GOD GIVES US TO SEE THE RIGHT.
WHETHER STRIVE ON TO FINISH THE
WORK WE ARE IN.
TO BIND UP THE NATION'S WOUNDS
TO CARE FOR HIM WHO SHALL HAVE
BORNE THE BATTLE. FOR HIS WIDOW
AND HIS ORPHAN.
TO DO ALL WHICH MAY ACHIEVE AND
CHERISH.
I JUST AND LASTING PEACE AMONG
OURSELVES AND WITH ALL NATIONS.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE
ON ACR ONE FIFTY FIVE.
I THINK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER
EGGMAN YOUR RECOGNIZE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH BEEN SPEAKER
MEMBERS.
FOR THE DAY FOR SENIORS RISING.
.
I ALSO RISE ON BEHALF OF ACR AND
ONE FIFTY FIVE IN JUST A UP A
PERSONAL REFLECTION WITH WITH
NOTHING TO READ BUT. BUT WORDS
JUST THAT THAT STRIKE ME AS I
THINK ABOUT LINCOLN.
AS ELECTED OFFICIALS WE ARE
FACED IN SOME INCREDIBLY
DIFFICULT SITUATIONS
IF WE'RE LUCKY BECAUSE FACING
DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. ALLOWS YOU
THE ABILITY TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE
GONNA MAKE A VERY HARD AND
DIFFICULT CHOICE ABOUT
SOMETHING.
A REFLECT WHEN I WAS ON THE
STUCK CITY COUNCIL AND WE WERE.
.
CAREENING INTO BANKRUPTCY.
AND WE HAD HOURS AND HOURS AND
HOURS AND. DAYS AND WEEKS AND
MONTHS OF PUBLIC TESTIMONY AND.
A LOT A LOT HAVE JUST DIED VERY
INTENSE DEBATE CRITICISM.
YOU NAME IT WE HAD IT I WAS I
WAS HUNG IN EFFIGY OUTSIDE A
CITY HALL WHAT'S.
AND A TIME TO THINK DO I JUST DO
THE EASY THING.
FOR SOME PEOPLE WERE VERY VOCAL.
OR I DO THE HARD THING BECAUSE I
KNOW WHAT'S THE GOOD OF THE
WHOLE.
AND IT'S HARD TO STAND IN THAT
PLACE AND IT'S HARD TO LOOK
YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR EVERY DAY
AND SAY MY DOING THE RIGHT
THING.
DURING THAT TIME I HAVE ENOUGH
TO GET TRIP BACK TO DC TO SPEAK
AT A CONFERENCE HOSTED AN
ACADEMIC THAN. A AND I WENT TO
HIS SUMMER HOME WHICH IS RIGHT
OUTSIDE OF DC. AND I WAS STRUCK
WITH THE STORIES THAT THAT
SUMMER HOME A LITTLE BIT OUTSIDE
OF TOWN IS WHERE THE WOUNDED
SOLDIERS.
CAMPED OUT.
VIDEO TO RIDE SIX MILES INTO
TOWN EVERY DAY IN A WAGON AND GO
BY CAMPS AND HOSPITALS OF
SOLDIERS AND PEOPLE DYING. LEGS
BLOWN OFF ALL AROUND HIM AS HE
JUST KEPT GOING. PEOPLE CALLING
UPON HIM TO STOP AND KNOWING
THAT IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO
DO FOR THE GREATER GOOD. YOU
INCREDIBLE HARD THINGS THAT WE
FACE SOMETIMES AS IT LOOKED AT
OFFICIALS AND SO I THINK IT
WOULD TAKE ANYTHING FROM MY FROM
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
JUST TAKE A SOMETIMES THE
GREATER GOOD IS SO HARD TO GET
THROUGH. AND THE INSTANT
GRATIFICATION FOR US TO STEP
AWAY AND TO TURN OUR HEADS IS SO
COMPELLING BUT IF WE HOLD THAT
LINE.
HEARD ON THE NEWS TODAY THAT MY
OF MY CITY WENT FROM BEING A AND
THE FIRST BANKRUPTCY THE MOST
MIDDLE PET PLACE AMERICA THE
MOST VIOLENT CITY IN AMERICA TO
THE SECOND MOST PHYSICAL.
FISCALLY HEALTHY CITY IN THE US
STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITH A
TWENTY SIX YEAR OLD YOUNG MAN
FROM.
AT THE SOUTH SIDE NOW AS
LEADING US AS MAYOR SO IT WE
PROVE PERSEVERE AS DID LINCOLN
AND SHOWING US A PAST THAT EVEN
IF IT'S HARD.
THERE'S SOMETHING ON THE OTHER
SIDE I THINK WE ALL DO BETTER TO
SERVE IN HIS IMAGE AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE AND ACR ONE FIFTY FIVE.
THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER COOLEY YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED.

GREAT SEAL OF CALIFORNIA.
BEING ADDED TO THE UNION SHIELD.

ASSEMBLY CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
ONE SIXTY SIX BY FAMILY MEMBER
BAKER RELATIVE TO INTERNATIONAL
DAY OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN
SCIENCE.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BAKER YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED FEELING UNUSUALLY
TALKATIVE TODAY THANK YOU MADAM
SPEAKER.
I LIKE TO RISE IN SUPPORT OF ACR
ONE SIXTY SIX AND ON BEHALF OF
LEGISLATIVE WOMEN'S CAUCUS
PRESENT THIS AND ALSO AS A MOM
OF A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL WHO
LOVES MATH AND THANKFULLY IS
MUCH BETTER AT IT THAN I AM.
I IT IS TO RECOGNIZE A WOMEN AND
GIRLS IN SCIENCE THE IDEA FOR OR
AN INTERNATIONAL DAY OF WOMEN
AND GIRLS AND SCIENCE WAS
CREATED ON FEBRUARY ELEVENTH.
JUSTIN TWENTY FIFTEEN DURING THE
FIRST WORLD WOMEN'S HEALTH AND
DEVELOPMENT FORUM. WHICH WAS
ORGANIZED BY THE ROYAL ACADEMY
OF SCIENCE OR NATIONAL TRUST AND
UNITED NATIONS DEPARTMENT OF
ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS.
THE GOAL OF THIS DAY IS TO
EMPHASIZE THE NEED FOR EQUAL
OPPORTUNITY AND REPRESENTATION
OF GENDERS IN STEM FIELDS. AND
WHILE IN RECENT YEARS A NUMBER
OF WOMEN INVOLVED IN SCIENTIFIC
FIELDS HAS INCREASED WOMEN STILL
ONLY ACCOUNT FOR LESS THAN
THIRTY PERCENT OF THE WORLD'S
RESEARCHERS. AND EVEN LOWER
PERCENTAGE AT HIGHER DECISION
MAKING LEVELS IN SCIENCE.
AND WHILE RIVER RECEIVE OVER
HALF OF BACHELOR DEGREES AWARDED
IN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES THEY
RECEIVE FAR FEWER IN COMPUTER
SCIENCE ENGINEERING PHYSICAL
SCIENCES AND MATHEMATICS.
SO THE NEED FOR GENDER EQUALITY
IN STEM FIELDS IS NOT ONLY A
MATTER OF FAIRNESS.
BUT IT'S A MATTER OF LOST
OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN FOR GIRLS
AND SOCIETY AS A WHOLE WHEN THEY
MISS OUT ON CONTRIBUTIONS THAT
WOMEN CAN MAKE IN OUR SCIENCE
FIELDS.
I AM SO THE ACR CERTAINLY
RECOGNIZE THAT BUT IT'S ALSO TO
REMIND US.
OF JUST HOW MUCH WOMEN HAVE
ROCKED IN SCIENCE.
MARY CURRY WAS THE FIRST WOMAN
TO WIN THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR HER
GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH IN RADIO
ACTIVITY.
ROSALIND FRANKLIN WAS A CHEMIST
AND EXTRA CRYSTALLOGRAPHY HER
BEST KNOWN FOR HER CRUCIAL
CONTRIBUTION TO THE DISCOVERY OF
THE DOUBLE HELIX STRUCTURE OF
DNA AS WELL AS PIONEERING THE
USE OF XRAY DIFFRACTIVE
FRACTION.
AND LISE MEITNER WAS A PHYSICIST
WHO IS ONE OF THE FIRST
SCIENTISTS TO DISCOVER NUCLEAR
FISSION AN IRANIAN.
GERTRUDE ELIANE WAS A BIOCHEMIST
AND PHARMACOLOGIST TO DEVELOP
