From Baytown to Berkeley Beth's journey in science
Beth's long path spans Baytown to Berkeley and beyond as she credits teachers from her youth, follows a shift from chemistry to biology, and builds a career in developmental biology. She studies nervous system development in salamanders, performs research in Europe, and becomes the first woman professor in anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania. Her work on retinomotor movement in photoreceptors links light signals to cell movement, illuminating eye development and cellular machinery.
