After Shyamala earned a doctorate in nutrition and endocrinology from UC Berkeley, she became a distinguished breast cancer researcher.
According to her obituary published in the San Francisco Chronicle, she began her career conducting research at the school’s zoology department and its cancer research lab. She published numerous notable research papers and spent time at many of the top research institutions in the U.S. and around the world.
Shyamala worked at the University of Illinois, the University of Wisconsin and abroad in France and Italy. She spent 16 years at McGill University’s Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research at the Jewish General Hospital in Canada. During the last decade of her work, she returned to UC Berkeley to conduct research within the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
During her career, Shyamala made “substantial contributions to the field of hormones and breast cancer” and received numerous honors. The cancer advocacy organization Breast Cancer Action wrote that her work “transformed the medical establishment’s understanding of the hormone-responsiveness of breast tissue.”
She was also a National Institutes of Health peer reviewer and served on the President’s Special Commission on Breast Cancer.
Following Donald’s graduation from UC Berkeley in 1966, he became an economics professor. He worked at several universities in the Midwest before returning to Northern California to work at Stanford University.
While he was only scheduled to stay at the university for two years as a visiting professor, students campaigned for the department to make more of a commitment to “radical political economics.” Donald, who was described as a “Marxian economist” by The Stanford Daily in 1974, was asked to remain at the school as a full-time professor in 1975.
Donald went on to teach at Stanford for more than two decades, during which he traveled around the world. He served as an associate fellow and a faculty fellow at Cambridge University and as a visiting professor at Yale University, among others. In 1998, Donald retired from his job at Stanford and retained the title of professor emeritus.
Throughout his career, Donald was also involved in policy work in his native Jamaica. He served as an economics policy consultant to the country’s government and an economics adviser to multiple Jamaican prime ministers. In 2021, he was honored with the Order of Merit, Jamaica’s third-highest honor, for “his outstanding contributions to national development,” according to the Jamaica Observer.
In addition to his other honors, Donald has published numerous academic papers and books, including Jamaica’s Export Economy: Towards a Strategy of Export-led Growth and “A Growth-Inducement Strategy for Jamaica in the Short and Medium Term.”

@PATERIFRIA1 Kamala te gano a ti, porque Ella siempre se a llevado en Este paiz como negra
Históricamente, las universidades negras, como la Universidad Howard, se fundaron para educar a los afroamericanos a quienes de otra manera se les habría prohibido asistir a la universidad después de la esclavitud.
Kamala Harris y una instantánea de 1986 de esa generación en la universal de Howard
Fotografía de Kamala Harris, tomada en 1986, mientras era estudiante en la Universidad Howard.
Ella y otras dos amigas, todas con hombreras y cuadros, sonríen y ríen, con una multitud detrás de ellas. Es una imagen llena de energía y esperanza.
Se ha utilizado mucho para contar la extraordinaria historia de su ascenso hasta convertirse en la primera mujer negra y asiático-estadounidense en ser vicepresidenta y la primera persona que asistió a una de las HBCU (universidades históricamente negras) de Estados Unidos en llegar a ese puesto.
Wowww, gracias, @JUNIOR2020 por compartir este artículo sobre los orígenes de doña Kamala. Te confieso que me tocó el corazón lo del cáncer de su madre y la fortaleza que tuvo de criar a sus hijas y sacarlas profesionales triunfadoras.
Mi madre igualmente falleció de cáncer, nos guió en nuestra formación como seres humanos conscientes, en nuestros estudios y… hoy, hoy, Agosto 1ro ella estuviera cumpliendo años
No son tus ideas politicas,no es tu diplomacia no es tu sabiduria es simplemente estar equivocada y no querer admitirlo,…que tu ganas con querer tergiversar la verdad…
Imagínate si yo que tengo mejor vida que tú
según tu no fui a la escuela,
imagínate tú que por burro tiene que vivir del welfare en unos de los lujos edificios llamados Shelters
donde viven homeless y gente vaga sin educación mantenidos por el gobierno
