Meet Livermore Chemist Dawn Shaughnessy

Dawn Shaughnessy leads the experimental nuclear and radiochemistry group and is the principal investigator for the heavy element group at the Livermore Lab. Her team has discovered six new elements on the periodic table, the heaviest elements found to date. This and other achievements have earned her a place in the Alameda County Women's Hall of Fame.

Some have a misconception that all scientists look like the cast of "The Big Bang Theory." So in honor of Women's History Month and STEM education, we thought we'd set the record straight and show off what some of our brilliant scientists and engineers are really like. Meet a few of the other brilliant women who work at the Livermore Lab on our Pinterest board, Women in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math: http://bit.ly/Y9Uvyt.
