Careers

ScienceCareers.org

o Dr. Shirley Malcom, born and raised in the segregated South more than 65 years ago, a career based

on her studies in science seemed even less likely than the launch of the Soviet’s Sputnik. But with Sputnik’s

success, the Space Race officially started and, in an instant, brought a laser-like focus to science education

and ways to deliver a proper response. Not long after, Dr. Malcom entered the picture.

Although black schools at the time received fewer dollars per student and did not have sufficient

resources to maintain their labs at a level equivalent to the white schools, Dr. Malcom found her way to the

University of Washington where she succeeded in obtaining a B.S. in spite of the difficulties of being an

African American woman in the field of science. From there she went on to earn a Ph.D. in ecology from

Penn State and held a faculty position at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington.

Dr. Malcom has served at the AAAS in multiple capacities, and is presently Head of the Directorate for

Of her active career in science, Dr. Malcom says, “I guess I have become a poster child for taking

one’s science background and using that in many other ways: we ask questions; we try to under-

stand what we find; we consider what evidence we would need to confirm or refute hypotheses.

And that happens in whatever setting one finds oneself.”
