  • Annotated Bibliography: Women in Physics, Astronomy, and Related Disciplines
    Annotated Bibliography: Women in Physics, Astronomy, and Related Disciplines Abir Am, Pnina and Dorinda Outram, eds. Uneasy Careers and Intimate Lives: Women in Science, 1787-1979. New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1987. Abir Am and Outram’s volume includes a collection of essays about women in science that highlight the intersection of personal and professional spheres. All of the articles argue that the careers of women scientists are influenced by their family lives and that their family lives are impacted because of their scientific careers. This text is significant in two ways: first, it is one of the earliest examples of scholarship that moves beyond the recovering women in science, but placing them in the context of their home and work environments. Second, it suggests that historians of science can no longer ignore the private lives of their historical subjects. This volume contains four articles relating to women in physics and astronomy: Marilyn Bailey Ogilvie’s “Marital Collaboration: An Approach to Science” (pages 104-125), Sally Gregory Kohlstedt’s “Maria Mitchell and the Advancement of Women in Science” (pages 129-146), Helena M. Pycior’s “Marie Curie’s ‘Anti-Natural Path’: Time Only for Science and Family” (pages 191-215), and Peggy Kidwell’s “Cecelia Payne-Gaposchkin: Astronomy in the Family” (pages 216-238). As a unit, the articles would constitute and interesting lesson on personal and professional influences. Individually, the articles could be incorporated into lessons on a single scientist, offering a new perspective on their activities at work and at home. It complements Pycior, Slack, and Abir Am’s Creative Couples in the Sciences and Lykknes, Opitz, and Van Tiggelen’s For Better of For Worse: Collaborative Couples in the Sciences, which also look at the intersection of the personal and professional.

In the physics community, at least, Meitner’s extraordinary talents and contributions were understood. She had recognized and named nuclear fi ssion and had calculated its energy release.

She said, “I will have nothing to do —Lise Meitner with a bomb!”6 When she learned that the fi rst atomic bomb had been dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945, ending World War II, she was hor- rifi ed and sickened. She walked alone in the woods for hours, trying to accept what had happened.

  • *Jackson Chapt 01 Final
    Introduction Exploring the Unseen Some explorers lift off into space. Others dive deep beneath the sea or trek through mountains or rain forests. Shirley Ann Jackson explores the universe too, but on a smaller scale and from a different perspective. She is a physicist who investigates the world on a submicroscopic level. She studies the tiniest elements of the universe, the particles that make up all matter. Why is it so exciting to learn about things you can’t even see? Split one of those tiny particles and you could cause catastrophic destruction. Or you could harness its powerful force to improve the way we work and play and live our lives. Because of Shirley’s scientific expertise and her willingness to take on new challenges, her career has moved in exciting directions. In industry, she worked on the cutting edge of technology, discovering ways for materials to be more useful in our everyday lives. When President Bill Clinton asked her to head the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 1995, she made sweeping changes to ensure the public’s safety, in our own country and around the world. As president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, she is creating unique opportunities for the next generation of scientists. How did Shirley Ann Jackson achieve so much? She began with a curious mind and a passion for uncovering the secrets that lay hidden in the world around us. ix To Shirley, the world was full of mysteries and living creatures provided the clues that could help solve them. 1 BEE SECRETS hirley Ann Jackson stood in the hot summer sun, patiently staring at a large rosebush in her family’s garden.

DuBois Distinguished Lecture University of Maryland, Baltimore County November 16, 1998 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am delighted at this opportunity to present the 20th Annual W.E.B. DuBois Distinguished Lecture. I especially am honored that I am the first scientist to participate in this lecture series. Given that understanding, and given my specific background as a theoretical physicist, I believe I have selected a topic that fits the occasion. I have entitled my presentation, “Expanding Our Universe: New Models of Success for the Minority Community.” I will begin by providing you, by way of context, a brief description of my current position as the Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I then will attempt to answer two questions: (1) How does a scientist—or, for that matter, a high-level government policy maker—contribute to the minority community? and (2) As members of a minority community, how can we continue to “expand our universe”? I. The Role of the Nuclear Safety Regulator Let me begin with a brief overview of how the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has evolved into its current regulatory role. Back in 1954, when the Congress passed the Atomic Energy Act, the NRC did not exist. The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), created in 1946, had the dual responsibilities of both promoting the growth of nuclear power and regulating its use.

Geopolitical tensions, exacerbated by an uncertain energy future, underscore the need to step up the pace of fundamental scientific discovery. In the United States, unfortunately, a quiet crisis confronts us as scientists and engineers are retiring in record numbers and too few students enter the pipeline.
