In science class we are researching about scientists and making podcasts abouts them. My partner and I got a scientist named Debra R. Rolison who realllllllllly wants to get rid of discrimination of women in science. Dr. Rolson has gotten a B.S. in Chemistry from Florida Atlantic University in 1975 and a PH.D. in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1980 under the guidance of Royce Murray. Soon after that Debra joined the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington D.C as a research chemist. Now she is a head in the Advanced Electrochemical Materials section and is also an Professor of Chemistry at the University of Utah. The main things she studies are multifunctional nanoarchitectures for catalytic chemistry's, energy storage and conversion, biomolecular composites, porous magnets, and sensors. Because Dr. Rolison strongly believes that women should not be discriminated because of their gender, she writes and gives speeches about how women shouldn't be given equal chances as men because of their gender. So hats of to you Dr. Rolison for trying to stop women from being discriminated!!
