Margie Profet

Margie Profet holds bachelors degrees from both Harvard and the University of California, Berkeley, she was a Visiting Scientist at the University of Washington from 1994-1997, Seattle. She conducts research in the fields of evolutionary biology and astronomy. She became a MacArthur Fellow in 1993.

She created controversy in the 1990s when she self-published her findings on the role of menstruation and morning sickness in evolution. Conservative scientists refused to acknowledge research by someone they considered an outsider without an advanced degree. She has been a missing person since 2004.
