At the Nobel Prize Lecture on 7 December, 2015, an 84-year-old Chinese woman walked slowly on to the stage. She began to talk about the life-saving drug, artemisinin, which she had discovered with the help of her team in the 1970s. The woman was Tu Youyou, the first Chinese female scientist to be awarded a Nobel Prize for her work. A scientist who was on the Nobel Prize Committee called Hans Forssberg explained that"the discovery of artemisinin has led to the development of new drugs which have saved the lives of millions. When thanking the Committe for the honour, Tu Youyou said, "This is not only an honour for myself, but also recognition and encouragement for all scientists in China."
