More than Just a Scientist
What would life be like if you were a rocker, a soccer player, a teacher at Stanford University, and a Nobel Prize winner? Carolyn Bertozzi from the US lives such a cool life!
Bertozzi shared the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry(化学) with Barry Sharpless(US) and Morten Meldal(Denmark). She became that year's only woman winner in science and the eighth woman to receive the chemistry prize in history.
Bertozzi won the prize for studying the sugar coats of cells(细胞). She has found a smart way to connect cells by connecting their sugar coats. The cells then have a green colour so that scientists can see clearly where they are and how they move. According to the University of California, Berkeley, this finding made lots of research possible and easier, such as developing better tests for infectious diseases(传染病) and new treatments for cancer(癌症治疗).
Although she is successful now, Bertozzi said she was not very interested in chemistry until her second year at Harvard University. "The professors made the class very difficult on purpose, "she told Chemistry World magazine. "My classmates felt really hard and have words with them, but it matched my brain. "Apart from doing science studies, Bertozzi has lived a colourful life. She was a keyboarder(键盘手) in a rock band. "I even used to think about studying music, "she said. She also played soccer, and won an athletic scholarship(体育奖学金) from Harvard.
As a woman scientist, Bertozzi tries to improve gender equality(性别平等). "In the late 1980s, maybe 10 percent of the students were girls, "she told news magazine Chemical & Engineering News. "There were maybe one or two women in a lab, so we tried to support each other by starting a monthly get-together for all the women students in the department. "And Bertozzi won a prize from the American Association for the Advancement of Science for her work to increase diversity(多样化) in science.
