(To celebrate the launch of TIME’s new multimedia project – 100 Photographs: The Most Influential Images of All Time – we asked leaders in a number of fields, from technology to the arts to business, to share the single photograph that most influenced their lives. Purchase the 100 Photographs book now.)
'The Solvay Conference in 1927 brought together the world’s most prominent scientists and physicists, including Albert Einstein, who you can see front and center here. Seventeen of them were or would become Nobel Prize winners. At first glance this may not be the most moving photo, but to me it subtly communicates two very powerful messages. First, that the pursuit of human progress and advances in science are incredible forces to bring people together. And perhaps even more impactful to me is the presence of the one woman in attendance, Marie Curie. As a woman pioneer in a field clearly so dominated at the time by men, Curie remains the only person in history to ever win a Nobel Prize in two different sciences – but perhaps not for long! She paved the way for so many girls who are interested in becoming engineers, scientists and mathematicians, and a similar photo today may look a lot less like Solvay and a lot more like the world around us.'

Thanks. As I said in post 24:
“She might find it even more impactful to see her picture alongside one of Web Hubell.”
By the way, Web was fairly handsome as a young man.
Chelsea, who’s your daddy?
Photo shopped.
"And when we are older, he is going to show us the shark-feeding area."
Exactly, how many elements of the periodic table can Webb Hubbells kid name?
WTH?
Yikes.
You could have waited until morning to post that!
Darling...if I wake in the morning and NEVER hear the word clinton again...I’ll think I’m in Heaven.
Lise Meitner was at the 1933 Solvay.
Whaaaaaaaaaaat! No bearded barbarians in the pic?
It’s Marie Curie.

I know a few chemical and mechanical engineers who have looked for work unsuccessfully in the last year. Their hope is in Trump.
Lady physicists can be the most unyielding. Madame Wu was that way. Very tough as a teacher. Great experimentalist, though.
Gag me with a spoon!

Madame Curie was also a Communist sympathizer if not outright French Party member. She was big in various Soviet “peace” fronts and meetings in the 1940’s and 50’s.
As for TIME and Chelsea Clinton, talk about a Media Pimp and Its’ Whorehouse.
It was a joke. :-)
The REAL father and the step-dad = the skinny one w/hat !!!
Why does Chelsea continue to use her maiden name?
Is she afraid that if she uses her married name, (I can’t spell/pronounce it), no one will pay attention, or care about her musings?
