生平
[編輯]卡爾謝拉斯嘅阿爸係保加利亞嘅一位皮膚病專家,佢識得研究性行為傳染嘅疾病[1]。而阿媽係奧地利嘅一位牙醫同醫生。佢兩公婆離婚之後,佢同阿媽搬返出生地奧地利,但喺夏天跟阿爸住。1938年納粹入侵奧地利,佢阿爸短暫同佢阿媽結返婚,畀佢哋兩仔乸逃去保加利亞,兩仔乸喺1939年搬咗去美國。
佢16歲嗰陣入咗大學,再喺19歲攞埋優等生,嗰時佢就諗住做化學家。去到22歲嗰陣佢攞到韋斯剛先大學化學博士[1]。1940年代,佢開始研究避孕藥[2],喺1951年,佢搞嘅研究小組喺墨西哥城一間製藥廠研發咗炔諾酮呢個孕激素出嚟。就係呢個發明,佢唔單止改變嗮好多女仔嘅生活方式,重幫埋女仔搞咗係生定唔生BB[2]。佢喺1959年去咗史丹福大學嘅化學系做嘢,先後發表過1200幾篇科研文章,重喺1973年攞到美國國家科學獎。
佢喺2015年1月30號因為癌病復發,死喺三藩市屋企,終年91歲[3][4]。
