She was credited with "one of the most significant scientific achievements of the 20th century".The discovery was recognised by the award of the 1974 Nobel Prize in Physics, but although she was the first to observe the pulsars, Bell was not one of the recipients of the prize....." [ en.wikipedia.org ] Interviewed on Radio 4 last week, she said not receiving the Nobel actually helped her to make better progress with her work.
