Awards and Accomplishments[edit]

In 1960, Caldwell was awarded the Garvin Medal by the American Chemistry Society, for her research in amylase. The Garvin Medal specifically recognizes women who have a huge contribution to the field of Chemistry. Caldwell developed a method to isolate crystalline pancreatic enzymes, that is now used by laboratories all throughout America and Europe. ^[1] MJung17 (talk) 16:16, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

After receiving her M.S. and Ph.D. at Columbia University in 1919 and 1921, respectively, Caldwell was hired as an instructor. She eventually became the first female professor of Chemistry in 1948, and the only female senior faculty member of the Chemistry department at Columbia University. ^[2] ^[3] 134.140.121.248 (talk) 15:37, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Maria Letitia Caldwell (December 18, 1890- July 1, 1982) was an American chemist. Growing up she valued education and strived to achieve. She was an instructor at Western College teaching chemistry. She was known for being unique and descriptive along with being family orientated. Maria was in a wheel chair due to muscular disability. Her main focus was using her own pure materials while carefully studying amylases for sixty years. Maria is known as a role model and mentor for many women.

Early Life and Education[edit]

She suffered from a progressive muscular disorder which made her wheelchair bound for life. She came from a family of five siblings, all of which valued higher education. She received her BSN in 1913 from an all women's college Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio. She then became an instructor for that school until 1918 when she went to further her studies at Columbia University. In 1919 she received her M.S and her PhD in 1921 from Columbia University. She then became the first women instructor in the chemistry department at Columbia University. In 1951 she retired from teaching and began her studies in enzymes, specifically amylase.

Career[edit]

Hey! I just finished my section. I noticed we may be repeating ourselves in sections, however the subject matters are applicable to both headings. Caitlynmg (talk) 00:00, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
