HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL Dorothy Crowfoot was born in Cairo on May 12th, 1910 where her father, John Winter Crowfoot, was working in the Egyptian Education Service. He moved soon afterwards to the Sudan, where he later became both Director of Education and of Antiquities; Dorothy visited the Sudan as a girl in 1923, and acquired a strong affection for the country. After his retirement from the Sudan in 1926, her father gave most of his time to archaeology, working for some years as Director of the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem and carrying out excavations on Mount Ophel, at Jerash, Bosra and Samaria. Her mother, Grace Mary Crowfoot (born Hood) was actively involved in all her father's work, and became an authority in her own right on early weaving techniques. She was also a very good botanist and drew in her spare time the illustrations to the official Flora of the Sudan. Dorothy Crowfoot spent one season between school and university with her parents, excavating at Jerash and drawing mosaic pavements, and she enjoyed the experience so much, that she seriously considered giving up chemistry for archaeology. She became interested in chemistry and in crystals at about the age of 10, and this interest was encouraged by Dr. A.F. Joseph, a friend of her parents in the Sudan, who gave her chemicals and helped her during her stay there to analyse ilmenite. Most of her childhood she spent with her sisters at Geldeston in Norfolk, from where she went by day to the Sir John Leman School, Beccles, from 1921-28. One other girl, Norah Pusey, and Dorothy Crowfoot were allowed to join the boys doing chemistry at school, with Miss Deeley as their teacher; by the end of her school career, she had decided to study chemistry and possibly biochemistry at university.

Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin presents prizes to children. Among the X-ray crystallographers inspired by William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg was Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin (1910–1994), the third woman ever to win the Nobel Prize in chemistry, which she received in 1964. Dorothy Crowfoot was born in Cairo, Egypt, to English parents. Although her formal schooling took place in England, she spent a significant part of her youth in the Middle East and North Africa, where her father was a school inspector. Both her parents were authorities in archaeology, and she almost followed the family vocation, but from childhood she was fascinated by minerals and crystals. She enjoyed using a portable mineral analysis kit given to her when she became interested in analyzing pebbles she and her sister found in the stream that ran through the Crowfoot's garden in Khartoum, Sudan. When she was fifteen, her mother gave her Sir William Henry Bragg's Concerning the Nature of Things (1925), which contained intriguing discussions of how scientists could use X-rays to "see" atoms and molecules.

Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin was born in Cairo, Egypt. She attended Oxford University and graduated in 1931. She began working at Oxford University in 1931. She was the winner of the Nobel Prize of Chemistry in 1964 for recognizing the intricate shape of the vitamin B 12. She also researched the molecular shape of penicillin, insulin, cholesterol, iodine and others. All this information is important to the medical field. Her research on vitamin B 12 helped other scientists study the way the body uses the vitamin to make red blood cells. The information also led to the treatment of Pernius Anemia. She also used X-ray diffraction. She made the first X-ray diffraction photograph of protein pepsin in 1934 at Cambridge with a classmate. The purpose of X-ray diffraction is to study the patterns X-ray beams make in the crystals of a substance. First X-rays are focused on the crystal. The molecules of the substance arrange themselves in a repeating pattern and the X-rays bend according to the pattern. Picture Back to Biography Menu

Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin was born on May 12, 191 in Cairo Egypt. Her father was an archaeologist serving for the Egyptian Ministry of Education in Khartoum. Her mother was a self-trained amateur on botany and a nature artist expert on Coptic textiles. Dr. Hodgkin spent the majority of her life in England and worked at universities such as Oxford and Cambridge. Her husband, Dr. Thomas Hodgkin was an expert of African Affairs. She had three children who chose careers in academics. Her eldest son became professor of mathematics. Her daughter taught at a girl's school in Zambia. Her youngest son volunteered for a service similar to the Peace Corps. Some interesting anecdotes about Dr. Hodgkin is that when she received a letter from Buckingham Palace she left it sealed fearing the title of "Darne." Dr. Hodgkin was later relieved to find that she had been offered the Order of Merit, which is a much greater honor. During her work at Oxford University Dr. Hodgkin was banned from research meetings for the faculty chemistry club because she was a woman. With time, talent, and perseverance she won over the students and faculty and was allowed to attend the meetings. In a BBC radio interview she was asked whether being a woman had hindered her career. She answered "men were always particularly nice and helpful to me because I was a woman." Some of Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin's accomplishments are that she was the first scientist who was able to determine the structure of the protein insulin. With her discoveries with insulin it has helped many people with diabetes improve their lives. In 1945 she was the first person to use a computer for a biochemical problem to help her with calculations. Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin was also able to determine the chemical formula of penicillin. This was an important discovery because penicillin is needed to control infections. Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin was able to determine the atom arrangement of vitamin B-12.

No. 933: DOROTHY CROWFOOT HODGKIN by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 933. Today, we use Byzantine patterns of X-ray dots to figure out 3-dimensional structures. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. D orothy Crowfoot was born in Egypt in 1910. Her parents were English archaeologists. As WW-I began, they packed her off to England. During a choppy education there, she ran across a textbook that told her how to grow copper sulfate crystals. When ten-year-old Dorothy decided to try it, science was destined to change. She resolved to understand this magical lifelike process. Then a geologist friend gave her a box of reagents and minerals. He told her, "Buy a proper book on analytical chemistry!" She did. She also built a chemistry lab in her attic and set her sights on the male bastion of Oxford University. Just before college she went to Jerusalem to help her parents excavate Byzantine churches. Sharon McGrane tells how Dorothy reconstructed mosaic patterns from fragments on the floors. It took a trick of seeing for which she had a special gift but it was a gift that would serve chemistry, not archaeology.
