Dr. Helene Hill was a research scientist who did excellent work. What was working against her though was that she was doing her work at a time when men dominated the field and discriminated against women.
Now at the age of 95 and working on writing her second book, Dr. Hill plans to release her memoir titled The Crying Window, to tell her story of purpose and persistence in the face of prejudice. Already a published author, Helene released a book (available on Amazon) titled Hidden Data: The Blind Eye of Science, telling the story of becoming a whistle-blower when she noticed falsified data in government-funded research
This is a story that can inspire women in science to stay the course, and a wake-up call to men to recognize the significant contributions to science that women make every day.
Within this conversation are stories of idealistic naivete, fond remembrance of teachers who inspired and life experiences that altered the course of Helene's career. Hers was a life of a dedicated love of science, a high sense of justice and a pursuit of truth within research.
This is a reminder of the special privilege we have to listen to the wisdom that can only come from experience. And in this case, it was the experience of doing what was right in the massive face of opposition.
