Perhaps no other jurist could have come to the Supreme Court under greater expectations. When President Ronald Reagan nominated Sandra Day O'Connor in 1981 to be the first woman to sit on the Supreme Court, he did soto keep a campaign promise. O'Connor's nomination was quick to draw criticism from both the political people left and right. Conservatives put down her lack of federal judicial experience and claimed that she didn't have any constitutional knowledge. They considered her a wasted nomination and suspected her position on abortion. Liberals, on the other hand, could not deny their satisfaction at seeing a woman on the High Court, but they were disappointed in O'Connor's apparent lack of strong support for

This article caught my eye because I recently finished a book by the same author, Lab Girl by Hope Jahren. Her memoir detailed how she became a research biogeochemist, and how the struggles she faced have never stopped. Completing the necessary education was easy for her, but receiving the funding to sustain herself, her lab, and her employees is still a challenge.

On Sunday October 23rd at midday I had the opportunity to interview Dr. Marie Hobart from Community Healthlink. For over twenty-four years Dr. Marie Hobart has been an employee of Community Healthlink as a psychiatrist and for the last ten to twelve years as the Chief Medical Officer of CHL. She is also an employee of UMasss Memorial Healthcare, and a clinical associate professor of psychiatry. Dr. Hobart 's work with CHL focuses on "people with serious and persistent illness, developmental disabilities, and addiction" and her goal in addition to helping patients one-on-one is to help create "a system of care for people who are traditionally not able to access care in other ways" (Hobart). Dr. Hobart explained that she always wanted to work in health, and "working with people in the community" leading her to become a public psychiatrist in the city of Worcester, Massachusetts. As Dr. Hobart works in the Worcester public health sector as both a practicing physician and an administrator, her dual roles create a unique position as an agent of direct community support and an advocate for changes to the public medical system. Dr. Hobart is a medically focused community organizer and her work is most easily tied to the Women-Centered model of community development (Stall, Stoecker; 202). Her desire to see greater connections between medical assistance and social aid, as well as, her work that recognizes the social factors that lead to health problems illustrates how she is an

Although Dr. Cherice Evans became a respectable Chemist she faced a few obstacles. For instance, Cherice worked with the same research mentor from undergraduate school to graduate school, which hindered her ability to network with others. Her lack of networking, made it difficult for her to find a job, thus she decided to obtain a Ph.D. which would qualify her to teach at the college level. Not only would she have a job but also be able to have time to continue her research. By teaching at a university, Cherice is able to research freely due to the accessible funding available. Hence why she took the opportunity to teach at Queens College. Dr. Evans enjoys

NO the question you should be asking yourself is why the hell have you done nothing to fix this issue, the things that have been happening to others because of many people discriminating them for how they look, for how they talk, for who they choose to be in life. In the 1960s this woman called Katherine Johnson was one of the first African American woman to work for Nasa, she worked as a Mathematician calculating the trajectories for many NASA missions and working with many people in this project which in many cases was hard for her 1. Her being a woman and 2. Her being African American, now these shouldn't be any reasons for her to fail or not be able to do it (right), well in her case it wasn't, it was the fact that many people doubted her, made fun fun of her skin color, and most of all her being equal to a man really made her get laughed at because everyone thought that she can’t do it, how can a woman be with such a high authority and equal with a man working for NASA, although many people did not agree with what she did however, with her working there for 33 years taking all the discrimination words she heard, brought eather to her face or in secret she toughened up and realized no matter how many things they say about me I will keep on going, she later on started proving everyone that she can do it she started solving various complex equations and multiple plans on what types of angles the ships should be held from, what speed to blast

Dr. Ava Morrow received a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Morgan State University in 1980 and in the same year, began her career at Gallaudet University, working in the biology department as a laboratory technician. She majored in microbiology at Howard University and earned a Master of Science degree (1988) and a Ph.D. (2004).

She retired from Gallaudet in January 2013, as a full professor of microbiology, after completing 32 years of service at Gallaudet. Dr. Morrow is a passionate advocate who promotes science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by speaking to elementary, middle

Elion accomplished a lot in her 81 years working. She started out teaching biochemistry at New York hospital school of nursing, and then she was an unpaid chemistry lab assistant. She stuck with this job, hoping to eventually get paid and even made $20 a week, which is one of the reasons she was able to attend New York University (Koenig, 2006). She scrimped and saved and had help from her boyfriend, Leonard Canter (McGrayne, 2002). While in school, she taught as a teacher in training as well as a substitute (Elion, 1988). At the same time she was doing research for her Master’s at night and on the weekends to keep up. She eventually got a job doing analytical work for a food company. She did gain excellent instrumentation skills in this job even though she thought of it as quite boring. After this, Johnson and Johnson hired her, but that was short lived. Many people wanted to work with Elion, but she refused many job offers and agreed to work with George Hitchings at Burroughs Wellcome Company.

Dr. Samantha Moore is one of the youngest and most acclaimed researchers in the world. Her specialty is blood and she has been recruited by the largest pharmaceutical company in Scotland. For what purpose she cannot begin to imagine, but in an attempt to break out of her painfully shy shell, she throws caution to the wind and leaves her family and best friend behind in Savannah.

Biochemistry has proven to be helpful in many ways. Biochemists have found cures to many diseases, and they have found better ways to cultivate crops to make them disease resistant. These are not the only things biochemists have done for us, but they are just a few of the many things. A lot of people do not know what biochemistry is, or why it is so important. This paper serves to inform people about why biochemistry is important, along with some other information about it.
