For this month’s celebration of National Women’s History Month (US), I want to talk about the many (forgotten) women in science. 

Let me talk to you about Ethel Nicholson Browne, PhD (14 December 1885–02 September 1965). As a long-time associate of the Marine Biological Labratory (MBL) at Woods Hole, MA, she spent many summers working on the biology of hydra, particularly with transplantation. She was the first person to show that you could induce a second axis of polarity in a host body from a transplantation (1909). This, for developmental biologist, is very similar to the term of “organizer” coined by Spemann and Mangold (1924). 

The work that Browne did 20 years prior to H. Spemann and H. Mangold was remarkably similar. Spemann went on to winning the Nobel Prize in 1935 for his ‘discovery of the organizer effect in embryonic development’. [Side note: Mangold had an untimely tragic death prior to the prize, depriving her of the Nobel Prize.] Browne’s work was not cited or acknowledge in Spemann’s paper. However, many evidence showed that Spemann was aware of Browne’s work long before Mangold began her experiments. In fact, evidence surfaced that Spemann owned reprints of Browne’s paper in his collection signed in the year 1909. 

The manner of how Mangold and Browne had discovered the organizer was remarkably the same, although Browne did not use the word “organizer” in reporting her findings but rather “organization” of a secondary axis. [Another side note: why is it called Spemann’s organizer and not Mangold organizer, since it was Mangold who actually discovered it?]

The Nobel Prize committee did not recognize Browne’s work despite the close analogies of the two papers. In fact, Browne conducted experiments that were more conclusive in the idea of an organizer than Mangold’s work had. Many now feel that the Ethel Browne’s discovery was neglected and/or diminished, either because she was a female graduate student or that she was not working on a vertebrate embryo. 

You can read about Ethel Browne, Hans Spemann and the Spemann Organizer here in more detail (paper written by Lenhoff).

Re-blog this if:

- you’re gay - can read - support gay people - want to hold a match between your fingers as you wander the halls of an ancient castle because it’s your only source of light amidst the ghosts of people long past - are an antelope - or want a chocolate bar.

No one will know which applies.

May I drink from the brine pool?

[siphonophoresupernumerary]

It's literally fish death, don't sip the brine pool

[marinebiologyshitposts]

what was that i couldnt hear you i was too busy sip sipping from this brine pool can you repeat yourself

[callmedoc]

Sorry what did you say- *before you can get a word out I start sipping loudly from the brine pool*

[the-distantprince]

Dips my silly straw into the brine pool and starts slurping that ice cold good salty stuff

What a strange wasp, I thought the legs were the abdomen at first, and it’s so compact. What is even going on.

[revretch]

I love how if you ever see a wasp this cute, you *know* it’s a parasitoid! (This one parasitizes weaver ants.)

[onenicebugperday]

I only just learned that American burying beetles are endangered and now I’m sad :(

I’ve got bad news for you my dude we are currently living in an insect extinction crisis

[onenicebugperday]

This is a great time to say you should support the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, a very excellent nonprofit.
