Abstract:

Jane Gibson was a respected member of a small group of women who served as the first female professors of microbiology in the United States. She worked mainly in the field of photosynthetic bacteria, in both biochemistry and microbial physiology. This chapter covers her life and career in research, teaching, and mentoring and features personal reflections from the author, Dr. Caroline Harwood.
