Vera Popova

Russian chemist (1867-1896) · Russia · On the map · Scientists · Died at 28

Vera Yevstafievna Popova was a Russian chemist. She was one of the first female chemists in Russia, and the first Russian female author of a chemistry textbook. She "probably became the first woman to die in the cause of chemistry" as a result of an explosion in her laboratory.

Vera Popova is read about 10 times a day, in 31 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 6 November 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 103 days, one point a day.
