Elizabeth M. Bright (25 septembre 1893 – 20 octobre 1975) est une chercheuse et physiologiste américaine qui a notamment collaboré avec l'océanographe Alfred C. Redfield pour étudier les effets des radiations sur différents modèles animaux.

Éléments biographiques modifier

Elizabeth M. Bright est née le 25 septembre 1893 à Chelsea, dans le Massachusetts, de David L. Bright et Emma Clark de Nouvelle Écosse. Son père est enregistré comme travailleur manuel^[1]. Le 29 janvier 1911, à Chelsea, à l'âge de 17 ans, elle épouse Norman M. Menzies, âgé de 20 ans, originaire d'Écosse, chaudronnier^[2]. Bright est morte le 20 octobre 1975 à Lowell^[3].

Woods Hole et Harvard modifier

En 1912, Bright est embauchée par l'Institut océanographique de Woods Hole, où elle travaille comme chercheuse débutante au département de physiologie, tout en occupant un poste d'assistant chercheur à la Harvard Medical School, également au département de physiologie^[4]^,^[5]. De 1918 à 1924, Bright travaille avec l'océanographe Alfred C. Redfield, étudiant les Nereis et d'autres modèles animaux et les effets sur la santé des radiations. Ils publient 12 articles en collaboration^[6].
