In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Women & Science, Rockefeller University President Richard P. Lifton, M.D., Ph.D., invites you to the unveiling of a new portrait of five historic Rockefeller scientists.
This groundbreaking portrait—the university’s first depicting women scientists—features Drs. Marie Daly, Rebecca Lancefield, Louise Pearce, Gertrude Perlmann, and Florence Sabin, researchers who held significant tenures at Rockefeller or went on to have distinguished careers at other institutions after training at the university. All were among the first women in their respective fields and are recognized for their pioneering contributions to science.
Following this event, the portrait will be hung in the lounge of Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Hall.
This portrait, by artist Brenda Zlamany, was commissioned in 2020 by Women in Science at Rockefeller (WISeR) and the Women & Science Initiative with the support of generous benefactors. For more information, please visit: go.rockefeller.edu/portrait-initiative.
