(912) 982-8109 Celebrating the Pioneering Legacy of Marie Maynard Daly: A Trailblazer in Science -Debbie Hearn. Reporter In the illustrious history of scientific discovery, certain names stand out as beacons of inspiration and innovation. One such luminary is Marie Maynard Daly, a trailblazing biochemist whose groundbreaking work has left an indelible mark on the scientific community. As we celebrate Black History Month, it is fitting to shine a spotlight on this remarkable woman who overcame numerous obstacles to become a pioneer in her field. Bom on April 16, 1921, in Corona, Queens, New York, Marie Maynard Daly exhibited an early passion for science. Despite the societal challenges and racial barriers prevalent during her time, Daly's determination and intellect propelled her forward. In 1942, she earned her Bachelor's degree magna cum laude from Queens College, making history as one of the few African-American women in the sciences at the time. Daly's journey continued as she pursued her graduate studies at Columbia University, where she earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1947. Not only was she the first African- American woman to receive a Ph.D. in Chemistry, but her work laid the groundwork for advancements in cardiovascular research. One of Daly's most significant contributions was her collaboration with Dr. Quentin B. Deming on the study of the effects of cholesterol on the human body. Her research helped unravel the intricate relationship between diet and heart health, leading to a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to cardiovascular diseases. Daly's scientific prowess extended beyond the laboratory. She became a trailblazer in academia, breaking barriers and inspiring future generations. In 1955, she joined the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University as an assistant professor, becoming the first African-American woman to secure such a position. Throughout her career, Daly continued to break down barriers for women and minorities in science. She became a role model, not only for her groundbreaking research but also for her dedication to education. Her commitment to fostering diversity in academia left an enduring impact on the scientific community. In addition to her research and teaching, Daly co-authored a seminal book, "Introduction to Stereochemistry," which became a standard textbook in the field. Her ability to communicate complex scientific concepts in a clear and accessible manner further solidified her reputation as a leader in biochemistry. Marie Maynard Daly's legacy lives on, influencing countless scientists who continue to build upon her work. Her pioneering spirit, resilience, and unwavering dedication to scientific inquiry serve as a beacon of inspiration for all aspiring researchers, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. As we celebrate Black History Month, let us honor and remember the extraordinary contributions of Marie Maynard Daly, a true trailblazer whose impact on science and education continues to resonate across the globe.

(Dozier's <Doggie (Daze Moose, A true gift from God This is a story of one of my friends. Moose. tYou see, he was almost taken to the dog shelter when his owner died. However, he was one of the lucky ones. You are going to love this story! I am going to let my friend, Carol tell you all about it Well, “my daughter is quite the entrepreneur and started her own pet sitting business at age 9. Years later, one of the dogs she regularly looked after couldn’t be taken with his owners when they moved away. He was going to be taken to the animal shelter, but we weren’t ready for a new dog so soon after our best friend of 13 years had passed away. We couldn’t let him be taken to the city pound , so we agreed to take Moose until we could find him a good home. 4 years have now passed and he has certainly found his home for sure. We realized early on, that he loved people and had amazing intuition, so we got him certified by the ATD (he’s a quick learner and passed his classes quickly!). Soon, the staff and patients at our local cancer center were looking forward to seeing him weekly. He was also loved by those at an elderly and disabled apartment complex, as well as by the students at the local university where he gave so much support, especially around finals time. He’s such a kind, gentle and giving dog that he would come home from these visits completely exhausted but would always be ready to go again. Unfortunately, life is never simple and I had to have bilateral knee replacements. Moose intuitively knew what to do: he would come to physical therapy sessions with me and very quickly caught on to how ne could assist me. I also have a vision disability which Moose, on his own, learned how to help me with. We springboarded from here with more specific training, and after nours and hours of work. Moose is now a service dog as well as a therapy dog. During the early stages of the pandemic. Moose couldn’t make therapy dog visits so we focused on his service dog training. Now things are loosening back up, we are making more therapy visits and Moose seems to have no issues switching back and forth between his duties. He flies with me and is a hit with the airline staff, just as he’s a hit wherever he goes. He always seems to know who needs a visit and his calm demeanor draws people to him. You can see any anxiety and worries just melt away when Moose leans in to say hello. Moose has accomplished so much, is so willing, and only wants to please. He truly is a gift from God.” Thank you Carol. How about that story? What a great boy Moose is uh? All of us can do that for you. We are, of course, Man's best friend! Please adopt one of my friends today! Let's give Moose a big a-paws!
