I'm Tracy V. Wilson, and I'm Holly Fry Today we have another episode inspired by my recent trip to England. While I was there, I kept running into references to chemist Dorothy Crowfot Hodgkin She was in the History of Science Museum in Oxford and the Alexander Fleming Laboratory Museum in London. And then after I got home I realized my phone had tagged a bunch of pictures from the Oxford University Museum of Natural History and the Pitt Rivers Museum as being on Dorothy Hodgkin Road. It started to seem like The universe was trying to tell me something Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin has come up on two of our previous episodes, the one on the discovery of insulin and the one on the discovery of penicillin becausecause she earned the Nobel Prize in chemistry in nineteen sixty four for her use of X ray crystallography to determine the structures of important biochemical substances, including those two by the end of her career, as well as Vitamin B twelve These discoveries were a step in being able to synthesize these molecules and to find other similar molecules that could have the same effects on the body lot of important things came out of this research. This is a two part episode. In part one, we are going to talk about her early life and some of the really formative moments in that early life that led her to this career X ray crystallography And then in part two, we will talk about her research and all those discoveries that she made Also, usually in my episodes Once someone is out of their childhood, I usually call them mostly by their last name unless that would be confusing. I think this is kind of a holdover earlier style guides that were part of my career. Yeah, writing and editing stuff During her life though, Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin was really insistent that people call her Dorothy. and I saw so many people say this about her that I started to feel a little weirdly formal calling her Crowfoot or Hodgkin in this episode wanted to be called Dorothy and a lot of people said that So that's mostly what we'll do. Dorothy May Crowfoot was the first of four daughters, born to John and Grace Mary Crowfoot Grace Mary was known as Molly. She was born on may twelfth, nineteen ten in Cairo, Egypt familyam was living there because of John's work Britain had established what is sometimes called a veiled protectorate over Egypt in eighteen eighty two, making it nominally still part of the Ottoman Empire, but under British administration And John worked in the Ministry of Public Instruction in both Egypt and Sudan When Dorothy's mother Molly, was growing up, she had wanted to become a doctor. And while this wasn't completely impossible in England in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it was really difficult And her parents did not see the need for women to attain an education beyond finishing school. So Molly instead trained as a midwife This training probably played a role in her marriage to Dorothy's father Molly's attraction to John was immediate, but he didn't seem to be all that interested in her until about a decade after they first met. When she wrote to tell him she had gotten this training and was prepared for overseas service She was particularly interested in the idea of being able to provide pregnancy care where women didn't have access to medical practitioners, or where it was considered inappropriate for women to be examined by a man or for a man to attend their birth Yeah, to kind of read between the lines. it sort of seems like he might have thought, I don't know if this person can keep up with my career that involves living and working in Northern Africa and sometimes in places that don't have a lot of resources. And then she was like, I'm on board with it actually. That me o? Yeah Although she was denied access to a formal higher education, Molly had a lot of self taught and experiential knowledge and subjects like art, botany, and ancient textiles Over the course of her life, she came to be seen as an international expert in archaeological textiles in particular She was also an advocate of educational opportunities for girls, and she helped establish schools for girls in places where John worked All of this certainly played a role in how supportive Molly was of Dorothy's interest in becoming a scientist The fact that Molly and John didn't have any sons may have played a part in how open they were to this as well John and Molly's work in Northern Africa meant that Dorothy and her sisters had an upbringing that was unusual for most British children, but not unheard of among the children of colonial administrators and other people working for Britain overseas. At the start of the nineteen teens, Dorothy and her sisters were with their parents in Northern Africa for part of the year, and then in England with grandparents during the hottest months of the summer. When World War one started in nineteen fourteen, Molly took the girls, Dorothy, Joan, and Elizabeth who was known as Betty to England, where they lived with grandparents for the duration of the year. Molly returned to Africa and only saw them once before the war was over She gave birth to their youngest sister, Diana during the war These separations from their parents have to have been difficult for the girls, but Dorothy also attributed her independence in her adult life to having been apart from her parents so often and for so long as a child While being raised mostly by nurses and grandparents, she started attending school and she became extremely determined to learn At one point, a nurse wrote a letter to Molly about how Dorothy kept exhausting herself studying, saying, quote, even in her sleep she was at school And this was not something that Dorothy grew out of While she was working on her fourth year project at Oxford University, a friend described her as working for almost forty hours straight reallyally looking like a ghost and losing weight because she was spending so much time in the lab After the end of World War One, when Dorothy was about eight She and her sisters were reunited with their mother, who seems to have wanted to make up for the lost time with them They found a home near Becklls, close to where John had grown up Molly taught them at home for about a year with a curriculum that she had developed herself that was focused on subjects like poetry, history, natural history, and geography After that year, Dorothy and her sisters briefly attended a school that was established by the Parents National Educational Union, which was an organization to help parents establish small private schools in people's homes or in rented rooms as an alternative to local schools. They could also help with homeschooling. The union also trained teachers to work in these schools This very small school was where Dorothy had her first experience with chemistry and a lesson that involved growing crystals from a solution. Dorothy was ten, and she later said of this quote, I was captured for life by chemistry and by crystals Before long, Dorothy was putting together her own chemistry lab in her attic room at home, buying materials from the local chemist with her pocket money. Apparently, he didn't put a lot of thought into which chemicals were safe to sell to a child, and her parents trusted her not to do anything really dangerous, although her experiments did involve using a burner in the house That was the limiting factor in the chemistry set I had growing up I had to have parental attention to use the burner whichich mostly meant not doing burner experiments U In addition to her growing fascination with science, Dorothy loved to draw and paint As she got older, she continued to do this as a hobby And it also became an important part of her work in crystallography Biographer Georgina Ferry described Dorothy as approaching the work of a scientist with the soul of an artist. When she was eleven, Dorothy started attending Sir John Lehman school in Becles. That was a co educational school, although it had separate entrances, dining halls, and playgrounds for boys and girls There were also classes that were considered only appropriate for one gender. One of those being chemistry, which was only for boys. That doesn't seem totally surprising given ideas about education and gender in nineteen twenty when this was happening, but it did seem odd considering that the chemistry teacher, Chris Deey, was a woman Eventually, Dorothy and her friend Nora were allowed to take chemistry under the argument they both planned to go to university and that they would need it Deely encouraged Dorothy in her chemistry studies and Dorothy was also getting encouragement from outside of school When she was twelve, she and her sister Joan went to visit their father in Sudan Dorothy met her father's colleague, Dr. A.F. Joseph, who worked at the Welcome Laboratory in Khartoum Joseph taught her about chemistry, helped her do experiments, and gave her a surveyor's kit that she could use to identify minerals During this trip, Dorothy also started to become more aware of the effect of British colonial rule on local people While the same things were true in Egypt when she was born, she was only about four when she was taken to England in the wake of World War one. So she didn't really remember or know what was going on there. But she started to hear about ongoing problems with poverty and disease and uprisings against British authorities and the suppression of those uprisings These were often things she was hearing about rather than directly seeing, although sometimes she did see the aftermath of violent incidents while she was traveling Molly wanted Dorothy to understand the context of the world she was living in, including these kinds of issues Dothy's father was a colonial administrator, but in a lot of ways, he and Molly were idealists and progressive thinkers, at least in the context of their time For example, John helped establish schools for girls in places where that whole idea was deeply controversial Molly established a midwifery school in Khartmb. oping to reduce the practice of genital mutilation, also called female circumcision, by offering training to traditional birth attendants Mali also joined the League of Nations Union, a peace organization established to support the League of Nations And she enlisted the children in fundraising efforts, including putting on a pageant to raise money Molly also established a brownie troroupe and then a girl guide troupe which her daughters participated in When Dorothy was sixteen, her mother gave her a gift that had the same kind of impact on her as that first chemistry lesson, growrowing crystals. And we will get to that after a sponsor break Alrighty, there is excited and then there is vacation excited. and we are vacation excited right now because we have a trip planned to Baja Mar in Nassau. To be honest, I'm kind of mentally already checked in and I have a beautiful drink in my hand. What I love about this is that you can do it your way.

When Dorothy Crowfot was a teenager, her mother gave her Sir William Henry Bragg's book concerning the Nature of Things That was published in nineteen twenty five This book was a collection of Bragg's nineteen twenty three Christmas lectures at the Royal Institution The Christmas lectures were meant to be accessible to a general audience, including young people covering science in an engaging and understandable way. Bragg's first lectures that year were on the nature of atoms, gases, and liquids, and the last three were on crystals One of the things Bragg talked about in these lectures was the use of x rays to study molecules, which is a very new idea. In nineteen fourteen, Max Von Laua had been awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for discovering the diffraction of x rays through crystals. Basically, Van Laua realized that if you passed an x ray through a crystal, it created a diffraction pattern on a photographic plate sort of like the way light passing through a screen creates a pattern of shadows William Henry Bragg and his son, William Lawrence Bragg built on this discovery, finding mathematical relationships between the x rays, the crystals, and the diffraction patterns, and building an X ray spectrometer to study these patterns Bragg's discoveries were possible because of the nature of crystals. The atoms of a crystal are arranged in a regular repeating pattern So when an x ray passes through a crystal, the diffraction pattern that it creates correlates with the pattern of those atoms. creates dark areas that X ray crystallographers can use to figure out the location of each atom and then determine the physical structure of the molecule Bragg's early work was on the structure of several salts and relatively small molecules, and they were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for this work in nineteen fifteen In her own Nobel lecture, Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin cited one particular passage from William Henry Braggs concerning the nature of things That passage was quote Broadly speaking, the discovery of x rays has increased the keenness of our vision over ten thousand times, and we can now see the individual atoms and molecules But beyond this one quote, Bragg's writing about crystals in these lectures really struck her. And I personally find it really beautiful For example, he wrote,Qote, order and regularity are the consequence of the complete fulfillment of the attractions which the atoms or molecules exert on one another when the structure has grown to a size, which renders it visible in the microscope or even to the naked eye The regularity is manifest in the form of the solid body It is what we call a crystal It is bounded by a number of plain faces, often highly polished in appearance so that the crystal has a certain charm due partly to glitter and sparkle partly to perfect regularity of outline. We feel that some mystery and beauty must underlie the characteristics that please us, and indeed that is the case. Nature is telling us how she arranges the molecules when given full opportunity. Later on, he went on to say, quote Through the crystal, therefore, we look down into the first structures of nature. Though our eyes cannot read what is there without the use, so to speak, of strong spectacles, which are the X ray methods. In these lectures, Bragg wrote at length about x rays making it possible for people to see things that would otherwise be unobservable, including atoms and molecules He also wrote about the physical structure of crystals, making it possible for people to observe things that they would not otherwise be able to see Reading this in her mid teens, Dorothy was absolutely fascinated Another formative event in Dorothy's life took place around the same time that she was first reading Bragg's work on X ray crystallography In September of nineteen twenty five, when Dorothy was fifteen, her mother took her to the sixth Assembly of the League of Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. The League of Nations was established in the wake of the First World War to promote international cooperation and to work toward peace through disarmament and the nonviolent resolution of international disputes The League of Nations also promoted international cooperation in addressing issues like human trafficking, drug trafficking, the arms trade and maintaining fair and humane working conditions, not just in the member countries, but in other countries where they had commercial or industrial relations. The protocol for the Pacific settlement of international disputes Also called the Geneva Protocol of nineteen twenty four, had been passed at the League of Nations General Assembly the previous year. called for compulsory arbitration among member nations to settle disputes and outline procedures for how that arbitration would be handled This protocol had received preliminary approval from the member States, but Britain ultimately had not ratified it. One of the speeches Dorothy and Molly listened to was by French delegate Joseph Paul Bancour, who was calling for the league to save what it could of the protocol in spite of it failing ratification While this protocol did not come into effect, the assembly did call for a disarmament conference that took place in September of nineteen twenty six Okay, this is a whole protocol that was meant to try to prevent war through full negotiation of international disputes. Dorothy described the atmosphere of the General Assembly in the midst of all this as a feeling of quote hope struggling against a sense of doom. Even though the nineteen twenty four Geneva prrotocol went unratified, Dorothy had witnessed the process of nations C coming together to try to resolve their differences through dialogue rather than violence Molly's ongoing anti war activism was shaped in part by the loss of all four of her brothers during World War I And Dorothy's really started to grow after attending the assembly with her This idea that problems should be solved through dialogue was something that she would carry with her for the rest of her life In nineteen twenty seven, Dorothy took the exams that were required to attain her school certificate Earning distinction in six subjects She also earned the highest overall marks of any girl who took the exams through her local board that year And those high marks earned her a cash prize These high scores were not altogether surprising considering how bright and dedicated she had already demonstrated herself to be as a student She had earned really high marks at other times in her education. Sometimes she had been placed in classrooms with students who were a year or more older than she was Parents also thought formal schooling was only one of an array of educational experiences that their children should have. Dothy had some big gaps at her time at the Lehman School, including an entire spring term spent with her grandmother in Italy So she got these really high scores in spite of just like not having been present for a lot of the material Ironically, one of the subjects that she did not earn distinction in was chemistry. and earlier on in her education, she had been ranked in the bottom half of the chemistry class Dorothy's goal at this point was to go to Oxford, and it seems to have been her father's goal for her as well She wrote of him wanting her to be educated in the same way that a son would have been But it really seems like nobody had really looked into the requirements for attending Oxford L, Dorothy notot her family and not any of her teachers at the Lehman schoolch. She didn't know she would need to take an entrance examination in Latinia a language that she had no familiarity with at all She didn't know that her math and science instruction were insufficient She needed to learn a whole other science besides chemistry, and she needed more advanced math than she had gotten So Dorothy and her family started planning for her to take the Oxford Entrance exams in March of nineteen twenty eight That was when she was going to take them, not when they started planning. And so that gave her about a year to try to get ready During that time, she learned botany from her mother and Latin from George Watson, who was headmaster of the Lehman School. The math part was a particular challenge Dorothy had multiple people who could help her, including a former student at the Lehman School who had gone to London University. But she really struggled if she could not understand why a particular answer was the right one Even if she knew that the answer was right, if she couldn't explain why it was right, she would get really hung up on that part of it Her sister, Elizabeth described finding Dorothy crying over her math homework because she knew that it was right, but she could not explain why We will get to what happened when she went for her entrance exams after we paused for a sponsor break Alrighty, there is excited and then there is vacation excited. and we are vacation excited right now because we have a trip planned to Baa Mar in Nassau.

Dorothy Crowfot sat for her Oxford entrance exams in March of nineteen twenty eight, and she was interviewed at Somerville College, named for scientist and science writer Mary Somerville, who we covered on the show in twenty twenty three Somerville College was one of the first women's colleges established at Oxford. And there were several women's colleges by the time Dorothy applied there Isabell Fry had encouraged Dorothy to apply at Somerbille in particular Isabel ran a school that two of Dorothy's sisters were attending, and Isabele's sister, Marjorie, was principal at Somerville Beyond that personal connection, Isabelle thought Dorothy had a good chance of being accepted at Somerville because very few women were applying to study science Somerville also had the strongest academic reputation of the Oxford womomen's colleges Ultimately, all of Dorothy's preparation over that year and maybe also that connection to the principal paid off, and she was admitted to Somerville College, Oxford to start in the fall of nineteen twenty eight Before she went, she participated in an archaeological dig in Jarash in what is now Jordan, and that was coponsored by Yale University and the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem Dorothy's father John had been appointed director of the school. He had retired from his British civil serervice job in Khartoum Sudan a couple of years previously, at the earliest age that he could retire and still receive his full pension And it seemed like the family might be reunited in England after years of long separations because of his work in Northern Africa
