She was 23 when she had the breakthrough?! And in 1951! I can only imagine the barriers on her way to publish her findings.

Fowler’s discovery helped lead to a revolution in the theory of particle physics, and it continues to be proven correct – predicting particles such as the Higgs boson, discovered at Cern in Geneva, Switzerland.
Still very relevant. Higgs is even in public consciousness to some degree. I mean, I know the name (and nothing else about it) and I’m only a curious person who reads stuff online. Awesome that they honored her.

I think you're right. I only remembered kaon oscillations, but not that they also break CP.
