家园 那个黑人科学家叫Percy Julian

是美国科学院(National Academy of Sciences)第一位黑人院士。

他的主要研究项目就是大豆,似乎从大豆里生产阻燃剂和类固醇(这个俺不熟,还请河里大牛更正)。

Julian thrived at Glidden, devoting his research to soybean oil and the natural chemicals isolated from soybean, as well as the development of other soy-based products. Although the company was best known as the manufacturer of paint products, Julian was able to successfully develop other compounds while at Glidden, such as a flame retardant that was used during World War II, and was able to isolate a steroid-like chemical that eventually led to the manufacture of male and female sex hormones.
