Edith Gertrude Willcock (1879-1953) Masaniyar kimiyyar nukiliya ce kuma Masaniyar kimiyan halittu. Bayan bugawa a kan radium, ta ba da gudummawa ga bincike game da rawar da Amino acid ke takawa a cikin abinci.
Rayuwa ta farko
[gyara sashe | gyara masomin]An haifi Edith Willcock a Albrighton a ranar 7 ga watan Janairun 1879 ga lauya Robert Willcock da matarsa Emma . Ta yi karatu a makarantar sakandare ta King Edward VI don 'yan mata a Birmingham, wacce aka sani da karatun kimiyya.
Ayyukan kimiyya
[gyara sashe | gyara masomin]Willcock ta yi karatu a Kwalejin Newnham, Cambridge daga 1900, inda ya sami lambar yabo ta biyu a Sashe na I a 1902 da kuma lambar yabo ta farko a Sashe ya II a 1904. Ta sami karatun Bathurst don ci gaba da bincikenta a 1904 - 5 kuma an nada ta abokin bincike a Newnham a 1905 - 9.[1] Tun da Cambridge ba ta ba da digiri ga mata ba har zuwa 1948, ta kasance ɗaya daga cikin 'mata na jirgin ruwa' waɗanda suka yi tafiya zuwa Kwalejin Trinity, Dublin don karɓar digiri, suna samun DSc a 1906.
A lokacin karatun digirinta na farko, ta yi bincike tare da William Bate Hardy akan radium, kuma ta buga wata takarda ta solo wacce ke wakiltar ɗayan binciken farko don nuna illar radiation akan rayuwar dabbobi.
An yi wahayi zuwa gare ta ta ta hanyar 'gaskiya da wanzuwar manyan warƙoƙi da ba a bincika su ba da kuma bayyana manyan damar bincike' a cikin laccoci na Frederick Gowland Hopkins, ta gudanar da bincike tare da shi daga 1905 - 9. Ta hanyar nazarin tasirin ƙarawa ko cire tryptophan zuwa abincin beraye, sun tabbatar a 1906 cewa wasu amino acid suna da mahimmanci ga abinci kuma ba za a iya maye gurbin su ga wasu ba. Wannan binciken ya haifar da binciken bitamin na Hopkins.
Ba da shawara kan aikin gona da kuma rayuwarsu ta baya
[gyara sashe | gyara masomin]A cikin 1909, Willcock ta auri masanin ilimin dabbobi John Stanley Gardinar . Suna da 'ya'ya mata biyu kuma suna zaune a gidan Bredon, wanda aka gina musu a shekara ta 1914, kuma daga baya aka ba su Kwalejin Wolfson, Cambridge.[2]
A lokacin yakin duniya na farko, Edith ta yi aiki a matsayin mai ba da shawara na gida ga Ma'aikatar Aikin Gona ta Burtaniya kan kiwon zomo da kaji, inda ta rubuta takardu don rarrabawa, da kuma mai ba da shawarar kan noman oysters.

Ta mutu a Cambridge a ranar 8 ga Oktoba 1953.
