People Maria Goeppert Mayer physicist Born: Birthplace: Katowice (then Germany, now Poland) An accomplished physicist, Goeppert-Mayer made numerous contributions to the field of physics and was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for theoretical physics. Educated at the University of Goettingen, Germany, Mayer was initially attracted to math, but later shifted to physics. After her marriage in 1930, she left Germany for Johns Hopkins University, where her husband, Joseph E. Mayer, taught in the chemistry department. She received an assistantship in the physics department at Johns Hopkins. For most of her career, nepotism rules at universities where her husband worked prevented Meyer from holding full-time positions. During WWII, she worked on the Manhattan Project. In 1946, the Mayers moved to Chicago where, as a senior physicist at the newly formed Argonne National Laboratory, her interests turned to nuclear physics. She collaborated with Hans D. Jensen to publish Elementary Theory of Nuclear Shell Structure in 1955. In 1963, she and Jensen shared the Nobel Prize for their groundbreaking work in models of the nucleus of atoms. In 1960, the Mayers moved to the University of California, San Diego, where she was appointed professor of physics, her first full-time paid position.

Courtesy Argonne National Laboratory Maria Goeppert-Mayer, the Nuclear Shell Model, and Magic Numbers Resources with Additional Information While working at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in 1948, physicist Maria Goeppert-Mayer developed the explanation of how neutrons and protons within atomic nuclei are structured. Called the "nuclear shell model," her work explains why the nuclei of some atoms are more stable than others and why some elements have many different atomic forms, called "isotopes," while others do not. For this work, she shared the 1963 Nobel Prize in physics Goeppert-Mayer was only the second woman to receive the Nobel Prize in physics, following Marie Curie, and only the fourth American woman to win a Nobel Prize. At Argonne, Goeppert-Mayer learned most of her nuclear theory and set up a system of "magic" numbers to represent the numbers of protons and neutrons arranged in shells in the atom's nucleus. While collecting data to support her nuclear-shell model, she was at first unable to marshal a theoretical explanation. During a discussion of the problem with [Enrico] Fermi , he casually asked: "Incidentally, is there any evidence of spin-orbit coupling?"

44. Maria Goeppert-Mayer One notable woman was maria goeppertmayer. She lived from 1906 -1972. From thetime she was a little girl up to her death she struggled to find acceptance http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/Atrium/6957/

Maria Goeppert- Mayer During the twentieth century women have made exponential strides towards equality with men. More and more women are taking traditional male jobs such as doctors, lawyers and scientists. One notable woman was Maria Goeppert-Mayer. She lived from 1906 -1972. From the time she was a little girl up to her death she struggled to find acceptance in the male dominated world of science. In her own quiet way she achieved scientific greatness, however it is unfortunate that her accomplishments are not well known. Goeppert-Mayer was a Nobel Prize winning physicists who did not give up on her dream to become a scientist merely because she was a female.

"We think of the regular double helix as a one-dimensional sequence of information. But DNA isn't one-dimensional it's three-dimensional. ... Some can be a little left-handed; some can have a little loop out; some can be bent." Jacqueline Barton on Metal Complexes and DNA. Science Watch January/February 1997. http://www.sciencewatch.com/interviews/jacqueline_barton-1.htm Bates, Gillian. United Kingdom Genetics. "The remarkable thing about that is when we did see cell death, we observed that it is in the same regions of the brain as one would see in HD. We never expected this. Remember, we have this short fragment of the protein, not the whole protein, being expressed in mice. So in terms of what this polyglutamine load is doing in brains, we can say that it doesn't easily kill cells, because we don't see any cell death until the very, very end stage. And it's very selective. It's making cells dysfunction, and that's what's causing the symptoms. This may well be what's happening in patients."

Maria Goeppert-Mayer born June 28, 1906, died February 20, 1972 When Polish-born physicist Maria Goeppert-Mayer won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1963 (shared with J.H.D. Jensen and Eugene Wigner), she became only the second U.S. woman ever to win a Nobel prize, and the first U.S. woman to do so in physics. Her work promoted the theory that the stability of atomic nuclei is due to the arrangement of the protons and neutrons in relatively fixed shells or orbits. Goeppert-Mayer earned her degree in physics from the University of Gottingen in Germany, and worked at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland after she moved to the United States. In 1946, she joined the faculty of the University of Chicago. She achieved the rank of full professor in 1959.

Baldridge and University of San Diego Associate Professor of Chemistry Tammy J. Dwyer. Four previous symposia organized by Baldridge have attracted large audiences. "The interdisciplinarity of chemistry, physics, and molecular biology is more and more apparent to researchers in all these fields," Baldridge said, "and our goal has been to organize a truly interdisciplinary symposium to memorialize one of the first and best exemplars of the unity of these sciences, Maria Goeppert-Mayer." Goeppert-Mayer, whose only formal academic post was her final one as professor of chemistry at UCSD from 1959 until her death in 1972, was a member of the National Academy of Sciences (elected in 1956) and co-recipient of the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physics along with J.
