ANNE SAYRE WISE AWARD
The Anne Sayre Prize is awarded annually to a WISE woman who reflects the spirit of Anne Sayre, a scholar, a biographer, fiction writer, and judge. Anne Sayre was the author of the well-known biography Rosalind Franklin and DNA, which established the critical role Rosalind Franklin played in the discovery of the structure of DNA. Specifically, Watson and Crick used an X-ray diffraction pattern photograph of the DNA molecule that Rosalind Franklin had taken in making their landmark breakthrough. Anne Sayre’s book was significant both for encouraging a reassessment of Rosalind Franklin’s contributions to the discovery of DNA and for disclosing how sexism has at times strongly colored science and scientific careers. The book is widely read by women scientists and others and is commonly used in courses such as the WISE course on the “Society and Gender in Science and Engineering” which considers the way social, political, economic, cultural, and gender factors shape the way science is carried out and scientific careers evolve. Anne Sayre felt very close to WISE and was strongly committed to its goals. She was one of the first instructor’s for the “Society and Gender in Science and Engineering” (WISE 242) course.
The winner of the Anne Sayre Prize receives a check for $500 and a copy of Anne Sayre’s book. The award will be presented at a luncheon in the near future. You must be present to receive the award. The invitation list includes her husband, friends, and many distinguished scientists. This is open to all WISE students to apply by submitting an application. The application consists of an essay of no more than five double-spaced pages.
