The modern world owes a lot to Mary Engle Pennington, bacteriologist & refrigeration engineer. Working as the first female lab chief for the Food Research Lab, she set safe standards for handling meat. She also developed refrigerated boxcars. #internationalwomensday #laurelhillcemetery #likeagirl 🤓
