Conduct a brief search on your chosen 19th century female scientist. Acting in her persona, compose a brief 1st person POV paragraph to introduce yourself. In your introduction, include your background information, your specialization, and any awards or distinctions you have earned. If you can find a interesting fact to add that is non-science related, incorporate that here. Your tone can be conversational, serious, comedic, or any that you feel best fits your persona. Include an image, if you can.
Remember, only use your Pen Name. I will know who you are. Have fun creating your fictionalized character of a real person, but do try to be faithful to your scientist's reality. Expectations:
