ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with some of the nitty gritty details of Naomi Weisstein's career before filling out this skeleton with the impact of her work and the substance of what she accomplished. Naomi received her B.A. with special honors from Wellesley College in 1961 graduating Phi Beta Kappa. Naomi had a remarkable impact on her field and on the conduct of science in general. In the 1970s, she was an emerging leader in the relatively new fields of visual cognition and cognitive neuroscience. She was passionate about science. In the early 1980s Naomi began to suffer from what was eventually determined to be Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction. Part of her success was getting many articles published in top level journals like Science, one of the most exclusive journals in the world. Anyone with only a single article in Science in their career is considered a real success.
