She also served as secretary of the Biochemical Pharmacology Discussion Group at the New York Academy of Sciences (1961–1971). She received the Outstanding Woman in Science Award from the Metropolitan Chapter of American Women in Science in New York City in 1994.”—Timothy and Marian O’Keefe, friends
