Davida Young TELLER (July 1938 – 11. October 2011) was a professor for psychology and biophysics at the University of Washington. Davida Young Teller was born to David and Jean (Sturges) Young in 1938. She attended Swarthmore College and earned her PhD in Psychology at University of California Berkeley. She and her then-husband, David Teller, PhD Biochemistry, moved to Seattle in 1965.〔http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/seattletimes/obituary.aspx?n=davida-y-teller-vida&pid=154237105#sthash.Uhvsuxbe.dpuf〕 Early in her career, Vi's team created a way to prove how babies' sight develops in the first six months. She found that newborns see mostly high-contrast combinations. Today's black-and-white toys for newborns are a direct result of her work. She and her team created the Teller Acuity Cards, now used in eye clinics around the world.〔http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/seattletimes/obituary.aspx?n=davida-y-teller-vida&pid=154237105#sthash.Uhvsuxbe.dpuf〕 In the 1960s-70's, the world was harsh to women scientists. She made her feminist voice heard, using her intelligence, tact and wry wit to achieve her goals despite opposition. In many ways, Davida's career has been a model for women in science, demonstrating the possibility of excellence as a scientist without the loss of femininity or family.〔http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/seattletimes/obituary.aspx?n=davida-y-teller-vida&pid=154237105#sthash.Uhvsuxbe.dpuf〕 As scientist and mother, she was delighted by 'the infant researchers' amiable and fully effective jury-rigging of diaper-changing tables from oscilloscope carts.' 〔http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/seattletimes/obituary.aspx?n=davida-y-teller-vida&pid=154237105#sthash.Uhvsuxbe.dpuf〕 == Awards == Her awards include: Glenn Fry from the American Academy of Optometry, 1982, Honorary Doctor of Science from the State University of New York 1992; Friedenwald Award for outstanding achievement in both research and clinical sciences 1997.〔http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/seattletimes/obituary.aspx?n=davida-y-teller-vida&pid=154237105#sthash.Uhvsuxbe.dpuf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Davida Teller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
