Malcom was born Shirley Mahaley on September 6, 1946 in Birmingham, Alabama to Ben and Lillie Mahaley. Malcom completed high school at the age of 16 and left home to earn a B.S. with distinction in zoology at the University of Washington. She continued her education at the University of California at Los Angeles, receiving a M.S. in zoology in 1967. Afterwards, she taught high school students for a few years and later enrolled in the ecology program at Pennsylvania State University to earn a Ph.D. in 1974. Malcom returned to teaching for a year at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington and then moved to Washington, D.C., to work as a research associate at AAAS. Today, Dr. Malcom holds 16 honorary degrees.〔AAAS Experts and Speakers Service. (Shirley M. Malcom, Ph.D. )〕
Malcom was amazed at the lack of the minorities and women in her classes and faculty members while in college. Because of this experience, she decided to take action by becoming the program manager for the Minority Institutions Science Improvement Program (MISIP) at the National Science Foundation in 1977. The program provided federal funding to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) for improved equipment and facilities as well as higher salaries for the faculty. In 1979, Malcom returned to AAAS as the head of the Office of Opportunities in Science.
Dr. Malcom has received a variety of honors and awards, most notable was her election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the receipt of the 2003 Public Welfare Medal, the highest award presented by the National Academy of Sciences.〔AAAS Experts and Speakers Service.
