Stop Scrolling! I need people to know about someone!

Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi. Better. Fucking. Be. In. The. Science. History Books. She better be talked about in Biochem circles like Einstein is talked about among physicists.

Okay, so I've been out of the Chemistry loop for a hot minute, but the 2022 Chemistry Noble Prize winner Dr. Bertozzi, won for literally founding a brand new branch of Chemistry?!?!

It's called Bioorthogonal Chemistry, and it "refers to any chemical reaction that can occur inside of living systems without interfering with native biochemical processes." (Wikipedia page on the topic) This new field and technique allows researchers to chemically modify molecules in living organisms and not interrupt the processes of the cell.

But also, she's done a shit ton of major work on cancer and viral research, and founded multiple startups for things such as (noncomprehensive list): development of at home diagnostic tests for things like diabetes and HIV, and enhancing diagnostic tools for ovarian cancer.

She has over 600 publications and 54 awards and honors listed on her Wikpedia page. (I counted)

Oh, and she's also an incredibly talented musician who was offered multiple music scholarships in high school, was in a band with Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine in undergrad, and has been out as a lesbian since the late 80s.

What a fucking woman. *swoons*
