Today in Colorado history

Born November 9, 1871, in Central City to a mining engineer and a schoolteacher, Sabin becomes the first woman full professor at Johns Hopkins, the first woman in the National Academy of Sciences, and, after retirement, the force behind the Sabin Health Laws that drag Colorado’s public health out of 1876.
