说起世界著名的女科学家,人们多半首先会想到居里夫人。接下来或许可以有:珍·古道尔、蕾切尔·卡逊、吴健雄、芭芭拉·麦克林托克、多萝西·霍奇金……那么,此次“出场”的林恩·马古利斯(Lynn Margulis)呢?关于这位女科学家,科学网在她撒手人寰两天后发了一条短讯:美国知名生物学家林恩·马古利斯于2011年11月22日在麻省逝世,享年73岁。马古利斯生于1938年,她14岁进入芝加哥大学学习,1960年从威斯康星大学获得遗传学与动物学硕士学位,1965年从加州大学伯克利分校获得遗传学博士学位。她最为学界所知的是对“内共生学说”的贡献。1983年她当选为美国国家科学院院士,1999年被授予美国国家科学奖章。马古利斯固然非常出色,但她的另一个身份——美国著名天文学家兼科普作家卡尔·萨根(1934-1996)的前妻,无疑也在一定程度上提升了她的知名度。
Speaking of world-renowned female scientists, most people will first think of Madame Curie. Next may be: Jane Goodall, Rachel Carson, Wu Jianxiong, Barbara McClintock, Dorothy Hodgkin ... ... then, “appearance ” of the forest About Lynn Margulis About the Female Scientist, SciDev.Net Sent Two Short Sheffars After Her Wrestling: Lynn Magoulis, a well-known American biologist, on November 22, 2011 Died in Massachusetts at the age of 73. Born in 1938, Magules was 14 at the University of Chicago. In 1960 she received a master’s degree in genetics and zoology from the University of Wisconsin. In 1965, she received her Ph.D. in genetics from the University of California, Berkeley. What she knows most academically is her contribution to the “theory of internalization”. In 1983 she was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1999, was awarded the United States National Science Medal. Magules, of course, was outstanding, but her other identity, undoubtedly somehow, increased her popularity, as the ex-wife of the famous American astronomer and science writer Karl Sagan (1934-1996).
