#AmericanScientists&Explorers# Shirley Ann Jackson (American Physicist)

Do you know who the first African-American woman to earn a doctorate from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was? It was Shirley Ann Jackson, American physicist!

She received her Ph.D. in nuclear physics at MIT in 1973. She made many contributions to science and technology, especially in the semi-conductor field!

She won a National Medal of Science in 2016, and is currently the 18th president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the first woman and first African American to hold this position.

She once said “I was educated to address complex problems by having an intuition about the answer and by learning to break the problems down into parts that can more easily be solved. So I view myself as both a visionary and a pragmatist.”
