Meitnerium
Our chapter is named in honor of Austrian physicist Lise Meitner, who was one of the discoverers of nuclear fission. It is currently the only element on the periodic table named after a non-mythological woman, and in taking on her namesake, we hope to pay tribute to Dr. Meitner and continue in the legacy of lifting up and empowering the women of our own chapter, Meitnerium.
