built 641 days ago
Emmy Noether's father, Max Noether, was a distinguished mathematician and a professor at Erlangen. In school, she studied German, English, French, arithmetic and was given piano lessons. She loved dancing and intended to become a language teacher. After further study of English and French, in 1900 she became a certificated teacher of English and French in Bavarian girls schools.

For a while, Noether continued to meet informally with students and colleagues, inviting groups to her apartment. But by summer, the Emergency Committee to Aid Displaced German Scholars was entering into an agreement with Bryn Mawr, a women's college in Pennsylvania, which offered Noether a professorship. Her first year's salary was funded by the Emergency Committee and the Rockefeller Foundation.

Physicist Dr. Jenny List has recently received one of the sought-after Emmy-Noether-Fellowships of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). With the subsidies granted for 5 years, she will establish a project group at DESY that will study, among other things, the possibilities to detect dark matter at the International Linear Collider ILC. The Emmy-Noether-Fellowship gives the opportunity to outstanding scientists like Jenny List to qualify for professorship within a short time as a selfdependent head of a team of junior scientists.
