I entered science at a particularly lucky time. By the mid-1960s, women were being encouraged to pursue serious scientific careers. During the 60-year span of my career, women have become equal partners with men in scientific research, particularly in the biological sciences. There also has been abundant funding for research, which allowed me to succeed in a "soft-money" position at Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute, a place that was especially supportive for a woman scientist with children. In this article, I describe the findings that I think represent the most interesting and enduring scientific work from my career.
我进入科学界的时机非常幸运。到 20 世纪 60 年代中期，女性被鼓励从事严肃的科学职业。在我 60 年的职业生涯中，女性在科学研究中已经与男性平等，尤其是在生物科学领域。此外，研究经费也非常充足，这使我在史密斯-凯特威尔眼研究所的“软资金”职位上取得了成功，这个地方对有孩子的女科学家特别支持。在本文中，我描述了我认为是我职业生涯中最有趣和最持久的科学发现。
