Lucy Weston Pickett (Source: Wikipedia)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

He graduated summa cum laude<\/em> from the University of Mount Holyoke in South Hadley, Massachusetts, in 1925, received an M.A. in Chemistry two years later, and a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Illinois in 1930, with a thesis on the study of the effects of X-rays on chemical reactions and the structures of organic compounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He mainly devoted himself to teaching in the Chemistry Department of the university in his hometown until his retirement in 1968, except for short periods. In 1945, she got a position as Professor of Chemistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1930s, he did a postdoc in London with the crystallographer and Nobel Prize winner William Bragg and received a research grant to work with the spectroscopist V\u00edctor Henri at the University of Leija (Belgium) and with George Kistiakowsky at Harvard (United States).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 1947 and 1948, she was a visiting professor at the University of Berkeley and collaborated with Linus Pauling.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her recognition was not only for her scientific activities but also for her work as an educator and her publications in the field of spectroscopy and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
