HawksquillNew #Wikipedia article on H. Catherine W. Skinner for the #WikiWomeninRed project ✅
Skinner was a geologist and mineralogist who had many firsts: first woman president of the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences, first woman to receive the distinguished public service award from the Mineralogical Society of America, first woman to complete a term as residential college head at Yale (during a very turbulent period, no less).
She was a pioneer in medical geology, publishing a book about the health risks of asbestos and researching the intersections of crystallography, dentistry, and orthopedics. Skinner recorded an oral history about her experience as a woman scientist at Yale during the early days of coeducation, which is fully available online and very interesting.
