98-Year-Old Physicist Honored for Groundbreaking 1948 Discovery

Rosemary Fowler receives honorary doctorate for identifying the kaon particle, a milestone in particle physics.

In 1948, Rosemary Fowler discovered the kaon particle, leading to significant advancements in particle physics.
Fowler left academia in 1949 to raise a family, publishing her findings in three academic papers.
The kaon discovery contributed to the prediction of particles like the Higgs boson.
Nobel laureate Sir Paul Nurse praised Fowler's intellectual rigor and lasting impact on physics.
Fowler was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science in a private ceremony near her home.
