In 1977, Rosalyn Yalow won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine “for the development of radioimmunoassays of peptide hormones.” Ms. Yalow was the second American woman to ever receive the prestigious award. We look into the personal and professional details of her life, which reveal the underlying struggles of this remarkable woman and her efforts to achieve a lifelong goal of becoming a world-renowned scientist.
CUNY TV Digital Series presents the first season of "CUNY Laureates," a documentary web series about the lives and achievements of thirteen The City University of New York graduates who went on to become Nobel Prize winners. By reintroducing these exceptional minds to online audiences, we seek to promote the value of a high-quality public education and emphasize how it can transcend all social and political boundaries, even today.
