After her graduation in that same year, she was employed at the same university she used to go to. She worked as an assistant professor on teaching zoology. In 1926, Roger Arliner Young received a Master of Science in Zoology from University of Chicago, where she was designated to go to the honor society for biosciences called the Sigma Xi. In 1927 through 1936 she used her summers to do research in a biological laboratory in Massachusetts. It was the top laboratory of the US. It was an accomplishment because she was the first black woman to ever conduct and give research in her field of work. Another accomplishment she has completed is, in 1940, she was the first black woman to receive a doctoral degree in zoology, Ph.D. from University of Pennsylvania. Soon hardships became to overwhelm her. She had many problems such as lots of work and not enough money. In 1935, Dr. Young was not able to teach anymore at the Howard University. Fortunately for Roger, in 1940, she was able to complete her doctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania. From 1940 to around the 1950’s, Roger taught at the North Carolina College for Negroes and at Shaw University, North Carolina. She also taught at colleges for blacks in Texas, Louisiana, and

Rosalind headed back home to England in 1950. A physicist, John Randall of King's College, invited Rosalind into his research group. He told her that her sole project would be to "investigate the structure of certain biological fibres," meaning DNA. This is where a man named Maurice Wilkins first entered the picture. He was also a research associate in this group and played a controversial role later in Rosalind's life (McGrayne, 1993).

Henrietta Swan Leavitt was a scientist who discovered that the universe is considerably larger than we thought.

She was trying to get home from work that day, but she turned into an icon for the civil rights movement, and shined a light on the unfair treatment of african americans.
