Sophie Pasteur passed away in 1910, but her legacy continues to inspire scientists and researchers around the world. Her story serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by women in science and the importance of recognizing and valuing their contributions.

The Pasteur Institute opened on November 14, 1888. Louis was carried into the ceremony. He gave a short speech, but it was Sophie who had organized the seating for the French President, Sadi Carnot, and who had ensured the heating worked in November.

She managed supplies, glassware, and chemicals during shortages (including during the Franco-Prussian War, 1870–71). She kept meticulous logs of experimental conditions.
