Stephanie Kwolek, a retired DuPont scientist and one of the inventors of DuPont™ Kevlar®, is featured in a video produced by the Museum of Science in Boston, Massachusetts, for an exhibit on innovative scientists. The video highlights her childhood, schooling, and career at DuPont.

"I was elated to have made this discovery," Stephanie says about the invention of Kevlar®. “Because most people work a lifetime, and they never do anything like this – something that saves human lives.”

The four-minute video is introduced by Roger Siemienko, vice president of technology for DuPont Safety & Protection, who notes that Stephanie is "one of DuPont's most recognized scientists." Kwolek’s other achievements include induction into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 2004 and receiving the National Medal of Technology Award, the highest honor for technological innovation in the U.S., in 1996.
