Abstract

The author describes her life's pathway from her beginnings at a time when women were not well represented in the sciences. Her grandparents were immigrants to the United States. Although her parents were not able to go to college because of the Great Depression, they supported her education and other adventures. In addition to her interest in science, she describes her interest and involvement in politics. Her education at Oberlin, Stanford, and Harvard prepared her for her independent career at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she was an affirmative action appointment. Her research initially centered on the plant photoreceptor phytochrome, but later in her career she investigated circadian rhythms in plants, discovering and characterizing one of the members of the central oscillator.

生命与科学的冒险,从光到节奏。
作者描述了她的人生之路,从她开始的时候,女性在科学中没有很好的代表。她的祖父母是移民到美国的。虽然由于大萧条,她的父母没能上大学,但他们支持她的教育和其他冒险。除了对科学的兴趣,她还描述了自己对政治的兴趣和参与。她在奥伯林大学、斯坦福大学和哈佛大学所受的教育为她在加州大学洛杉矶分校的独立职业生涯做好了准备,在那里她获得了平权法案的任命。她的研究最初集中在植物光感受器光敏色素上,但后来在她的职业生涯中,她研究了植物的昼夜节律,发现并描述了中央振荡器的一个成员。
