This was very saddening to Cohn, who said that “the luckiest thing I ever did was marry a man who really believed that I should have a career…he didn’t just pay lip service to that; he really meant it.” She retired and closed down her laboratory in 1985, but kept an open office at the university where she would sometimes visit to mentor graduate students and post doctorate students right up to a few months before her death. For her 90th birthday, Cohn requested for her children to approve of yet another unthinkable dream, hangliding. After a twenty minute flight all she could say was that “she wished it had lasted much longer.” Cohn was inducted into the Women’s Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, NY, one day before she passed away. When she saw “ that Hilary Clinton and Oprah Winfrey were also members, she decided that this could be a good place for her.” She left behind a legacy of learning and inspiring a plethora of young women to follow in her

Dr. Shirley Jackson is the president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, but she didn’t get there easily. From 1964-68 she was a scholar at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), after graduating in 1964 as valedictorian of her class. Here, she earned her bachelors degree after writing her thesis on solid-state physics. She also got her Ph.D. in ’73 on elementary particles, becoming the first African American female to receive a doctorate in theoretical solid state.

In 1949 she graduated from this High school called George Washington High school. In 1953 she attended Fisk University, graduating summa sum laude with a major in mathematics and a minor in chemistry. She graduated college and in 1954 she attended the University of Wisconsin at Madison where she earned the MS/Master of science degree in

This week, Ted Rall analyzes the positive aspects about presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton’s campaign, as well as the negative. He states that Clinton has acquired many “followers” because she has professed herself as a “progressive” individual, but there is scant proof indicating that she has actually accomplished anything reputable. Rall also suggests that Clinton is one who steals ideas from Sanders--bringing up the health care issue to gain more followers. Although, many people have already acknowledged her motive. Rall also reports that her personality is something that causes many to go against her, claiming that she possesses no charm whatsoever, which is a trait that may provider her with publicity and many more voters. According

From the beginning of time, science has been an essential part of the creation and progression of civilization. Although many scientists and their work are well known, such as that of Isaac Newton, female scientists are pushed into the shadows and discredited. Scientists such as Rachel Carson and Professor Wangari Maathai are often forgotten, but have done incredible work that was essential to the survival of the planet. Despite focusing their efforts in completely different regions of the world, both women had a major impact and had many similarities between them.

Elizabeth Blackwell was an inspiring, dedicated, hard-working woman. Because of her willingness to never give up and pursue her dream to become a doctor, she was an important role model in many young girl’s lives. According to Elizabeth Flexner in her book, Century of Struggle: the Women's Rights Movement in the United States, “once fairly launched on her endeavor, the challenge of overcoming the tremendous obstacles in her path outweighed all other considerations: ‘The idea of winning a doctor’s degree gradually assumed the aspect of a great moral struggle, and the moral fight possessed immense attraction for me’” (Flexner 110). With this, Elizabeth became the world’s first female doctor.

In 1954 Norma Sklarek became the first African-American woman to earn her license in architecture by the state of New York (Anderson 1). Almost sixty-four years after her groundbreaking achievement, there has been a significant, but steady increase in Architecture and Interior Design (Anderson 1). Ms. Sklarek got her start in architecture by enrolling in the architecture program at Barnard College and eventually earning her degree from Colombia University school of architecture in 1950. Dubbed the “Rosa Parks of Architecture” Ms. Sklarek has paved the way for future architects, from being honored with a fellowship by the American Institute of Architects in 1980 to being honored with the Whitney Young Jr at the AIA convention in Boston in 2008.

At Occidental he undertook a B.A in Physics, graduating in 1962. Afterwards he proceeded to Howard University where he earned his master’s program degree in Nuclear Physics in 1963, from the same institution he earned his Ph.D. in Atomic and Molecular Physics in the year 1967. Alcorn jr. worked for the North American Rockwell Space Division as a research engineer. He showcased his impressive abilities with conducting computer analysis for launching trajectories and the orbital  mechanics for missiles. A NASA grant supported Alcorn's research on negative ion formation during the summers of 1965 and 1966. In 1967 he earned his doctorate from Howard University in atomic and molecular

What does it mean to have racial segregation or discrimination in a town or community? It means that people of a different color, in most cases African Americans, cannot go to the same places as white people, do the same things, or even walk on the same side of the street. This was very prominent in many southern states back in the early 1900’s. In the book, To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, the quiet town of Maycomb, Alabama was a great example of southern racism in the 1930’s.

The presence of media bias is an undeniable fact. I believe an objective news media outlet is basically nonexistent and that bias is unavoidable in society today. It’s natural for a writer or reporter’s point-of-view to be slightly evident in their work, but the true problem occurs when much of the reporters, anchors, writers, editors, and producers are undoubtedly of the same political opinion, with little to no diversity of opinion represented. Because of that reason, the media can deny their bias and do not have to make any effort to balance their view with any other opposing viewpoints. Reporters are intended to simply report the news. However, their personal opinions or the agendas of the network are reported as fact. Often, the position of major media outlets is extremely liberal, and they are known to use deliberate deceptive tactics, or to bluntly state their liberal opinions as fact.
