Activities to promote women have also become more visible in the academic arenas. Women in Science have had extraordinary sales of their "estrogen" shirts, depicting the molecular makeup of that essential hormone; Women in Economics and Government have hosted a series of dinners to promote relations between students and faculty...
Herschbach, a professor of chemistry at Harvard since 1963, shared the Nobel Prize in 1986 with John Polanyi and Yuan Lee for their study of chemical reactions using molecular beams...
