When I signed up for the course I was contemplating a career change, having completed a B.A. in biology but no longer desiring a laboratory position. Dr. Smead’s course confirmed my desire to become a historian, and that fall I began the graduate program in the history of science at Hopkins. I am thrilled to say that since then I've published my first book, The Oyster Question: Scientists, Watermen, and the Maryland Chesapeake Bay since 1880, and am an Associate Professor of Science, Technology, and Society in the Public Policy Department at Rochester Institute of Technology.” Posted on March 15, 2011 8:58 AM | Permalink Congratulations to Laura MarshallsayCongratulations to Laura Marshallsay, 2007 B.A. in History, and will earn an M.A. in May 2011, will serve as an editor on a book for the Junior League of Baltimore's 100th anniversary.
