@CarveHerName Here’s some background on the #FieldsMedal , named after mathematics professor John Charles Fields who is buried on the campus of #McMasterU in Hamilton, #Canada. http://www.sitnews.us/MacDougall/082806_macdougall.html
Was there a particular woman in #science who spurred the animosity between chemist Alfred #Nobel and Fields’ Swedish friend and fellow mathematics professor Gösta Mittag-Leffler that indirectly led to the Fields Medal itself? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gösta_Mittag-Leffler
