| Title: | As I Remember How It Was (Autobiography of Sam Leonard) |
| Authors: | Leonard, Samuel L. |
| Keywords: | Endocrinology Reproductive Physiology biography |
| Issue Date: | May-1990 |
| Publisher: | Internet-First University Press |
| Abstract: | This is an account of a remarkable endocrinologist and a fun-loving, ethical human
being. The autobiography combines serious accounts of research with the joys of living,
both avidly pursued by Samuel L. Leonard. The autobiography is neatly sectionalized
into short chronological periods starting with his birth in 1905 and then following his
career after graduating from Rutgers University Phi Beta Kappa. He was among the first
to discover the contraceptive effects of estrogen, and reported that two distinct
gonadotropins were produced by the anterior pituitary. The account concludes with the
death in 1990 of his loving, devoted wife, mother and companion, Olive. His list of 113
outstanding publications is appended. |
