I entered science at a particularly lucky time. By the mid-1960s, women were being encouraged to pursue serious scientific careers. During the 60-year span of my career, women have become equal partners with men in scientific research, particularly in the biological sciences. There also has been abundant funding for research, which allowed me to succeed in a “soft-money” position at Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute, a place that was especially supportive for a woman scientist with children. In this article, I describe the findings that I think represent the most interesting and enduring scientific work from my career.

想象一名女科学家

我在一个特别幸运的时刻进入了科学领域。到 20 世纪 60 年代中期，女性被鼓励从事严肃的科学事业。在我60年的职业生涯中，女性在科学研究领域，特别是在生物科学领域，已成为与男性平等的合作伙伴。还有充足的研究资金，这使我能够在史密斯-凯特韦尔眼科研究所获得“软钱”职位，这个地方特别支持有孩子的女科学家。在这篇文章中，我描述了我认为代表我职业生涯中最有趣和最持久的科学工作的发现。
