Marjory Stephenson 担任普通微生物学会 (SGM) 第二任主席至今已有 75 年历史。 1948 年底她去世前后，出现了许多文章赞扬 Marjory Stephenson 对生物化学和微生物学领域的贡献。从那时起，关于她的文章就很少了，这很不幸。因此，这篇简短的评论旨在作为一种补救形式，旨在强调这位杰出科学家在建立该学会和促进微生物学作为一门学科方面所发挥的作用。然而，尽管这些成就具有重要意义，但即使按照今天的标准，她对“化学微生物学”领域的整体影响以及她通过研究取得的成就也是非凡的。马乔里·斯蒂芬森认识到，为了理解生物系统，必须考虑“整个”有机体，而这只能通过采用跨学科方法来实现：无机和有机化学、生物化学、遗传学、新陈代谢和最终的生理学。她的科学精神如今已成为科学研究应如何进行的灯塔，以及我们作为科学家可以学到如何激励和指导下一代的灯塔。无论如何夸大马乔里·斯蒂芬森的科学遗产或她对微生物学的整体贡献都不为过。
It is now 75 years since Marjory Stephenson became the second President of the Society for General Microbiology (SGM). Around the time of her death at the end of 1948 many articles appeared extolling Marjory Stephenson’s contribution to the fields of Biochemistry and Microbiology. Not that much has been written about her since that time, which is unfortunate. Therefore, this brief review is intended as a form of redress and aims to highlight the role of this remarkable scientist in establishing the Society and in promoting Microbiology as a discipline. Notwithstanding the significance of these achievements, however, it is her overall impact on the field of ‘Chemical Microbiology’ and what she achieved through her research that are extraordinary, even by today’s standards. Marjory Stephenson recognized that in order to understand a biological system, the ‘whole’ organism must be considered and this can only be achieved by adopting an interdisciplinary approach: inorganic and organic chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, metabolism and ultimately physiology. Her scientific ethos serves today as a beacon for how scientific research should be conducted, and what we as scientists can learn about how to inspire and mentor the next generation. It is impossible to overstate Marjory Stephenson’s scientific legacy, or her overall contribution to Microbiology.
