Celebrating Black History Month

Marie M. Daly, a graduate of Columbia University and the first Black American woman to earn a PhD in chemistry, was a researcher and educator whose focus was on nutritional science, particularly how components of food and diet, including cholesterol and sugar, affect cardiovascular health. After teaching at Columbia, she joined the Albert Einstein College of Medicine as a professor from 1960 until she retired in 1986.3 Two years later, she honored her father with a scholarship fund in his name, established at Queens College for African American students studying science.
