FEMALE PHYSICIST: Dr. Betsy Ancker-Johnson
|
The technological age is among us, and we can thank many scientists for it. Among them would be Dr. Betsy Ancker-Johnson; she created the gigacycle range signal generator that allows engineers to test whether circuits of a certain appliance are working without impairments or interference. This has made the use of technology faster and accurate, and this is a benefit for society. We are the advanced generation, and her invention of the signal generator makes the use of everyday appliances such as microwaves and wireless applications less faulty and much faster to use.
As a female scientist during an era when women were stereotyped as housewives, it was hard for Dr. Ancker-Johnson to hone her craft as a legitimate scientist. However, she still pursued her career as a physicist and became a role model to future female scientists. Her contributions as a physicist made my life easier; I am easily dependent on using wireless applications such as wireless phones and such, or making food easily in the microwave. These appliances can easily be used and is not defective. It makes life faster and the appliances that uses her signal generator makes life more time-efficient.
