Die am 7. Juli 1861 geborene Biologin Nettie Stevens revolutionierte die Genetik: Sie entdeckte 1905 die XY-Geschlechtschromosomen. Damit widerlegte sie sexistische Theorien und ebnete Frauen mutig den Weg in die Wissenschaft! 💪 #NettieStevens <a href="/hashtag/MINT" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#MINT #Feminismus

💡 En 1905, Nettie Stevens prouve que les chromosomes X et Y déterminent le sexe…
Mais son nom disparaît de l’histoire !

Born on this day in 1861, #NettieStevens helped change genetics forever.

By studying chromosomes, she revealed their key role in sex development in many organisms: a discovery that reshaped how we understand heredity.

A tiny structure. A major scientific legacy.

"Forgotten Legends"

Nettie Stevens discovered X & Y chromosomes.

A man got the credit.

Textbooks fixed it a century later.

Justice… delayed.

Nettie Stevens, the scientist who never got credit.
Recognition doesn’t always follow achievement.

Her work changed science, yet her name rarely appears.

Nettie Stevens war eine amerikanische Biologin und Genetikerin, die um 1905 anhand der Spermazelle eines Mehlwurms die bis dahin unbekannte Vererbung des Geschlechts durch X- und Y-Chromosomen entdeckte.
