听众包括同事和朋友，以及大量的学生和博士后。作为第一位获得这个奖项的女性，我非常感激，我决定把我的演讲瞄准观众中的年轻人，其中许多是女性，告诉他们我在生活和科学方面的漫长而有时曲折的旅程。我的目的是说明，即使是他们认为有成就和自信的科学家，也和他们一样开始了，有时会在路上跌跌撞撞地走沿着。令我惊讶的是，不仅是学生，还有我的一些高级同事都觉得我的演讲很鼓舞人心，并要求我把它写下来。下面的自传笔记是基于这一谈话。对于那些感兴趣的人，原始的演讲，其中包括数字和照片，是张贴在我的小组网站（http：//chem.usc。edu/~ reisler_group/assets/pdf/DMC17_lecture.我意识到，和其他人一样，我是我的时间和地点的产物。我在当时年轻的以色列国长大，当时非常重视教育。当时抵达的许多大屠杀幸存者意识到，教育是唯一不能从他们身上拿走的东西。鼓励男子和妇女尽早接受教育，自力更生。这个国家很穷，每个人都必须工作，在科学领域工作对妇女来说并不罕见。我为什么选择化学？坦率地说，我不想成为一名教师，如果我选择了人文科学或社会科学专业，这将是我的命运。作为一名化学家，我想我只会在实验室工作。后来我才发现，教学和指导也是非常有益的。
The audience included colleagues and friends, and a large number of students and postdocs. Being the first woman to receive this Prize, for which I am immensely grateful, I decided to aim my talk at the young people in the audience, many of them women, and tell them about my long and sometimes tortuous journey in life and science. My goal was to illustrate that even scientists that they perceive as accomplished and selfconfident had started just like them, sometimes stumbling along the way. To my surprise, not only the students but also some of my senior colleagues found my talk inspiring and asked me to write it down. The autobiographical notes below are based on that talk. For those interested, the original talk, which includes figures and photos, is posted as a link in my group Web site (http://chem. usc. edu/~ reisler_group/assets/pdf/DMC17_lecture. pdf).I realize that, like everybody else, I am a product of my time and place. I grew up in the then young state of Israel at a time when there was strong emphasis on education. The many holocaust survivors who arrived at that time realized that education was the only thing that could not be taken away from them. Both men and women were encouraged to get their education early and become self-reliant. The country was poor, everybody had to work, and working in a science field was not considered unusual for a woman. Why did I choose Chemistry? Frankly, I did not want to be a teacher, which would be my fate had I chosen a humanities or social sciences major. As a chemist I thought that I would simply work in a lab. Only later did I discover that teaching and mentoring were also tremendously rewarding.
