Judy Mead

When she started college in 1950, Judy Mead was discouraged from being a chemistry major because she would be the only woman in the class. She went on to receive a Master’s degree in chemistry. Mead is shown here with (l to r) Orie Montoya, Vern Willan, and Pete Rand, demonstrating the silicone-based adhesive foam for which they received a patent in 1985.
