Rosalyn Sussman Yalow graduated from Hunter College and was the first woman to earn a degree in physics (Bauman et. al. 2011). She also paved the way for acceptance and understanding of the role of women in science in the United States (Bauman et al. 2011). She even inspired Mildred Dresselhous, who was a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and president and leader of numerous associations, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, to pursue the career she wanted (Bauman et al. 2011). Rosalyn born to Clara and Simon Sussman in New York, July 19, 1921 (Brody 1996). She married Aaron Yalow on June 6, 1943 and had two children named Elanna and Benjamin (Brody 1996). In 1977, Dr. Yalow won the Nobel Prize in Medicine and was the second woman to receive such an award (Brody 1996). She also taught physics in New York until 1950, when the Veterans Administration (during World War II) became interested in radioactivity exploration and research (Brody 1996). Throughout her life, Dr. Rosalyn Sussman Yalow became an inspiration to young women who want to be recognized and achieve something in their lives (Brody 1996). From childhood, she was fascinated by science and decided to do something that no woman really does. Rosalyn Yalow went to school and began working in science. She managed to help the world of radioactivity and radioimmunological testing, how Ms. Rosalyn impacted the world of science, how Dr. Yalow impacted the lives of other women and how she n never lost. his passion for science even in his later years. Yalow's parents never went to high school, but that never stopped her from going to school (Germain et. al. 2012). His high school chemistry teacher influenced his decision to go to college... middle of article... or for example, the hepatitis C virus), biological molecules (such as adenosine cyclic monophosphate) and human immunodeficiency (HIV) virus (Bauman et al. 2011). Rosalyn had gone further in the scientific world than anyone, including herself, thought possible (Bauman et al. 2011). Rosayln and Berson changed history, changed the way science was viewed and their times, and how we view and research science today. Works CitedBauman, WA and Langhoff, E. (2011).
