http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84276357

File includes: a photocopy of a two-page profile from "Research" (a publication of the Office of the Vice President for Research at Montana State University, 1984); a four-page summary of Caughlan's undergraduate work at Grays Harbor Junior College; her Ph.D. studies at the University of Washington, where she faced opposition from the faculty as a woman physics student; her husband's move to Montana State University, at which time she was encouraged by her advisor, Edward Uehling, to finish her Ph.D.; her studies with William Fowler at California Institute of Technology; her professorship at Montana State University; and some observations on the difficulties faced by women in physics. File also includes a questionnaire, curriculum vitae, and a list of publications. Recipients were asked to discuss their entry into a scientific career in general and nuclear physics in particular, their scientific achievements, the funding of their projects, the roles of related sciences in their research, their work as educators, and their involvement in physics-related organizations.
