Blast from the Past
After traveling for weeks, Fe del Mundo finally arrived at Harvard Medical School to study pediatrics. It was 1936, and the 24-year-old doctor had never traveled outside the Philippines. She reported to the address she had been given only to discover it was a men’s dormitory. Harvard did not admit women.
Watch Me Work
“Dolly, the sheep was created when I was 12. I became fascinated with genetics and genetic engineering. During my bachelor’s and master’s studies, I took several biology and chemistry classes and developed an interest in food chemistry. I then decided to start a Ph.D. in food chemistry, and now I analyze food to test its quality.” – Martina Bodner, Food Scientist.
