World Stamp Today:
FEBRUARY 11, 2021
The U.S. Postal Service issued on February 11, 2021 a Forever stamp to honor Professor Emerita Chien-Shiung Wu (1912-1997), one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century.
She was an advocate for women in science and made enormous contributions to the physical sciences, altering modern physical theory forever.
The stamp designed by art director Ethel Kessler shows a detailed portrait of Wu wearing a black-and-white high-collared traditional Chinese gown known as qipao. Kam Mak did the original art.
