US scientist Frances Arnold became the fifth women to win a chemistry Nobel on Wednesday, the day after Canada’s Donna Strickland became just the third woman — and first in 55 years — to clinch the physics award.
Twelve women have won the medicine Nobel, meaning there have been 19 female winners (Marie Curie received two separate prizes) out of more than 600 laureates across the three scientific categories.
