American physiologist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elizabeth M. Bright (25 September 1893 – 20 October 1975) early investigator, researcher and physiologist from Harvard and Woods Hole that collaborated with noted oceanographerAlfred C. Redfield to study the effects of radiation on various animal models
Elizabeth M. Bright was born on 25 September 1893 in Chelsea, Suffolk, Massachusetts to David L. Bright and Emma Clark from Nova Scotia. Her father's occupation was listed as laborer.[1] On 29 January 1911 in Chelsea, Massachusetts, at the age of 17 she married Norman M. Menzies, age 20 from Scotland whose occupation was listed as steamfitter.[2] Bright died on 20 October 1975 at Lowell, Massachusetts.[3]
