Isabella Aiona Abbott (June 20, 1919 – October 28, 2010) was an educator and ethnobotanist from Hawaii. The first native Hawaiian woman to receive a PhD in science, she became the leading expert on Pacific algae. ==Early life== Abbott was born Isabella Kauakea Yau Yung Aiona in Hana, Maui, Territory of Hawaii, on June 20, 1919. Her Hawaiian name means "white rain of Hana" and was known as "Izzy".〔 Her father was ethnically Chinese while her mother's ancestry was predominantly Native Hawaiian. Her mother taught her about edible Hawaiian seaweeds. She grew up in Honolulu, and graduated from Kamehameha Schools in 1937.〔〔 She received her undergraduate degree in botany at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa in 1941,〔 a master's degree in botany from the University of Michigan in 1942, and a Ph.D from the University of California, Berkeley in 1950.〔 She married zoologist Donald Putnam Abbott (1920–1986), who had been a fellow student at the University of Hawaii as well as Berkeley. The couple moved to Pacific Grove, California where her husband taught at the Hopkins Marine Station run by Stanford University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www-marine.stanford.edu/memorials/AbbottD.pdf )〕 Since at that time women were rarely considered for academic posts, she spent time raising her daughter Annie Abbott Foerster, while studying the algae of the California coast. She adapted recipes to use the local Bull Kelp (''Nereocystis'') in foods such as cakes and pickles.〔 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「Isabella Abbott」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
