Miriam Elizabeth Simpson (October 8, 1872 - December 27, 1952) was an American scientist who 1921 earned the first Ph.D. in anatomy conferred from the University of California.[1] Two years later, she was awarded Doctor of Medicine from Johns Hopkins University (1923).[2]
Early life and education[edit]
Simpson received her Ph.D. in anatomy from the University of California in 1921. Her second Ph.D. in medicine was awarded by Johns Hopkins University in 1923.[2]
Research Legacy[edit]
Simpson taught at the University of California from 1923 to 1961.[1] She was promoted to full Professor in 1945 and the “Emerita” distinction was added to her title upon retirement in 1961.
In 1952, following the retirement of mentor Herbert McLean Evans, Simpson took over responsibilities as acting as Director of the Institute of Experimental Biology. After Institute was dissolved in 1958, she oversaw the establishment of the Microscopic Anatomy course at the University of California, San Francisco, while continuing to share in teaching the course in Berkeley. This divided appointment continued on the two campuses until her retirement in 1961.[2]
