Description: Despite having to overcome the obstacles that women faced with interests in science, and participating in a field predominately occupied by men at the time, Dr. Rubin made one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century! A discovery that continues to impact our understanding of the structure of the universe! I hope you enjoy my 2009 interview with Dr, Rubin
