Obviously, over the history of certainly the last 300 years, it was that men went out and worked, and women stayed home. Yes okay, that's the way it was. But certainly it isn't that women weren't able to do it. — Donna Strickland Copy Share Image
I feel that women should start to get to be recognized more because for some reason not all men want to recognize us or not all people, but I think that's a minority. I think the majority of people are… — Donna Strickland Copy Share Image
We read to our kids at bedtime because we want to have literacy, but what are we doing to make sure kids are equally… — Donna Strickland Copy Share Image
In high school, I was very good in math and physics. I wasn't good at much of anything else. Some people are good at… — Donna Strickland Copy Share Image
If somebody else thinks something that you don't believe in, just think they're wrong and you're right and keep going. That's pretty much the… — Donna Strickland Copy Share Image
I think for a long time we were just 10 percent women in physics, and so obviously people can see things in the way… — Donna Strickland Copy Share Image

Because the high-intensity pulses are short, the laser only damages the area where it's applied. The result is precise, clean cuts that are ideal… — Donna Strickland Copy Share Image
For her PhD, Maria Goeppert Mayer, a theoretical physicist, came up with the idea of multi-photon physics. That means an atom absorbs two or… — Donna Strickland Copy Share Image
I still try to make different types of lasers that other people don't have. — Donna Strickland Copy Share Image
I hadn't looked at all the Nobel Prizes and thought, my goodness, there's no women. So it was a little bit surprising to me. — Donna Strickland Copy Share Image
I think we've been pushing for a lot of years and I do feel like women's lib was talked about a lot in the… — Donna Strickland Copy Share Image
We proved that we could increase laser intensity by orders of magnitude. In fact, CPA led to the most intense laser pulses ever recorded.… — Donna Strickland Copy Share Image
Sometimes you just have to be happy you get one chance in life and not worry too much about whether you get two. — Donna Strickland Copy Share Image
