12.The Nobel Prizes in science have been dominated (占主要地位) by men in previous years.But this year,women stole the spotlight! Jennifer Doudna from the US and Emmanuelle Charpentier from France shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.It's the first time in history for two women to win the prize without having to share it with a man.At the same time,US astronomer Andrea Ghez became the fourth woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics,which she shared with two other scientists.Its first female winner was Marie Curie in 1903. Doudna and Charpentier were awarded for developing CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors,a technology that can rewrite DNA in the cells of plants,animals and micro-organisms(微生物).It has had a "revolutionary influence on the life sciences," according to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.For example,it can help us plant crops that can withstand droughts(抗旱).It could also help treat inherited diseases in the future. On hearing that they were the sixth and seventh women to win the Chemistry Prize,Charpentier said that she hopes girls and young female scientists will "understand that nothing is impossible." They can "find great discoveries.It's independent of the gender. " Ghez,who was awarded for her research on black holes,had the same feeling. "I'm delighted to be part of the change where more women clearly succeed.I think that's an important way in which we encourage the next generation," Ghez said.In addition to her research,she was also one of the authors of the 2006 children's book You Can Be a Woman Astronomer.
