    • Abstract:
      The article in Science News highlights the life and achievements of Margaret S. Collins, the first Black American female entomologist to earn a Ph.D. Collins was not only a pioneer in her field but also an activist during the civil rights movement, participating in the Tallahassee bus boycott. Her research focused on termites, exploring their diversity and adaptations to different environments. Despite facing racism and sexism in her career, Collins made significant contributions to the field of entomology and is remembered as an inspiring figure in science. [Extracted from the article]
