History of science and technology collection Acquisition Information The Marian Cleeves Diamond Papers were given to The Bancroft Library by Marian Cleeves Diamond on August 17, 2004. Accruals Future additions are expected. System of Arrangement Arranged to the folder level. Processing Information Processed by Teresa Mora in 2007. Biographical Information Marian Cleeves Diamond was born in Glendale, California on November 11, 1926. She received her B.A. in 1948 and M.A. in 1949 from U.C. Berkeley, and in 1953 she became the first woman to receive a doctorate in Anatomy at U.C. Berkeley. Her career at Berkeley progressed from lecturer in Anatomy in 1960 to being appointed as a full Professor of Anatomy in 1974. From 1970 to 1972 she served as Associate Dean of Berkeley's College of Letters and Science. She was appointed Director of the Lawrence Hall of Science in 1990, a position she held until returning to teaching fulltime in 1995. She is the author of over 150 scientific articles in professional journals and has written several books including Enriching Heredity and The Human Brain Coloring Book . Diamond's research focuses on brain function and environmental effects on the brain. In addition to her academic work, Diamond has been a strong advocate for programs geared towards increasing children's interest in the sciences. Diamond has taught and lectured in various universities around the world and has received countless awards and honors. At the time of this writing Diamond continues to teach regularly at U.C. Berkeley. Scope and Content of Collection The Marian Cleeves Diamond Papers, 1950-2004, document Diamond's career as a professor of anatomy at the University of California, Berkeley. The bulk of the collection focuses on her over forty year tenure at the University of California. Included are copies of her lectures, manuscripts, and research materials. Diamond's correspondence files are especially illuminating as she kept a constant dialogue with many of her students throughout the years. The collection has been divided into eight series: Correspondence; Lectures; Manuscripts; Course Materials; Sabbaticals and Special Trips; Professional; Lawrence Hall of Science; and Research Files. The bulk of the collection consists of Diamond's research files. This includes notes on cortical measurements, cell counts, male and female brain comparisons, and other experiments. Also included in the collection are drafts, notes, and abstracts for many of Diamond's manuscripts, both published and unpublished. Much of her published work documents her extensive research on brain enrichment. Other series document her numerous sabbatical and professional trips notably her time in Australia studying public health. The collection also documents her involvement with campus activities and other professional affiliations. Finally, it also includes materials relating to Diamond's tenure as Director of the Lawrence Hall of Science.

    My Love Affair with the Brain: The Life and Science of Dr. Marian Diamond Possibilities for the Classroom and Beyond A Discussion and Study Guide developed by Susan Johnson for Luna Productions Overview My Love Affair with the Brain: The Life and Science of Dr. Marian Diamond can provide educators and leaders with engaging, thought-provoking, brain enriching ways to learn about the processes of science, brain function and plasticity, a passion for teaching, and what it is like to have a life in science, especially a woman in science confronting gender bias. This collection of discussion questions, tasks, and extend lessons is designed to provide educators and leaders with paths for extending the knowledge and passion of My Love Affair with the Brain into their personal lives and the lives of their students and colleagues. Organization of the Modules With time being a major constraint for the classroom, the collection is organized into modules to give teachers several viewing options. • Module 1 contains discussion questions and tasks that can be competed in traditional class period. The film is divided into chapters, allowing the educator to select a portion of the film for viewing. An educator may choose to focus on one theme/one film chapter or several themes as time allows. • Module 2 provides more extended lessons that require several class periods, designed for teaching of several literacy and/or science standards. All discussion questions and tasks are built around four major themes: 1. Science: Science as a process, as a mechanism for change, as a method of understanding the world around us 2.

An enriched cortex shows greater learning capacity, an impoverished, the opposite. Two, the structural arrangement of the male and female cortices is signifi cantly different and can be altered in the absence of sex steroid hormones.

  • My Love Affair with the Brain: the Life and Science of Dr
    My Love Affair with the Brain: The Life and Science of Dr. Marian Diamond PBS broadcasts begin March 9, 2017 (check your local listing, broadcast date/times vary) Educational DVD available now at lunaproductions.com How can you not fall in love with a woman who carries around a human brain inside a giant flowery hatbox? Meet Dr. Marian Diamond, … and prepare to be smitten. Catherine Ryan and Gary Weimberg’s film follows this remarkable woman over a 5-year period and introduces the viewer to both her many scientific accomplishments and the warm, funny, and thoroughly charming woman herself, who describes her 60-year career researching the human brain as “pure joy.” It is no exaggeration to say that Dr. Diamond changed science and society at large in dramatic ways over the course of her career. Her groundbreaking work is all the more remarkable because it began during an era when so few women entered science at all. Shouted at from the back of the conference hall by noteworthy male academics as she presented her research, and disparaged in the scientific journals of a more conservative era, Dr. Diamond simply did the work and followed where her curiosity led her, bringing about a paradigm shift (or two) in the process. As she points out, in order to get to the answers that matter, you have to start by asking the right questions. SCIENTIFIC HIGHLIGHTS of MARIAN DIAMOND’s CAREER • One of the founders of modern neuroscience. Her pioneering research preceded the very term “neuroscience”. • Enrichment and brain plasticity (how the brain changes due to experience and environment) are concepts we now take for granted, but they were a scientific battleground where Dr.
