  • Awards

    In 1990, Foe was named a Guggenheim fellow. [12] In 1993, at the age of 34, Foe won a McArthur Genius Grant for her work in cell and developmental biology. [3]

    Activism

    Foe is an activist and scientist. She was involved in the women's movement, the anti-Vietnam War movement, and the anti-Persian Gulf War movement. [2] As a student at the University of Texas in 1968, she worked to connect students with doctors willing to prescribe contraceptives to students [13] and to perform abortions. [14] She took a break from her schooling at the University of Texas at Austin to take a position as political aide. While acting as a political aid, she helped overturn the anti-abortion legislation in the state of Texas. [2]

    Personal life

    She was married Michael Dennis, a neurophysiologist. They later divorced. [2]
