In 1993, Franklin was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society. She is currently member of the CDF (Fermilab) and ATLAS (CERN) collaborations. Early life and educationFranklin was born in Edmonton, Alberta and grew up first in Vancouver, British Columbia and then Toronto, Ontario, where her family moved in 1962. Her father, Stephen Franklin, was a British-born journalist who worked as drama critic for the Ottawa Journal and later as staff writer and editor for Weekend magazine. Her mother, Elsa, was a television producer as well as Canadian author Pierre Berton's manager and literary agent.[2] Melissa Franklin dropped out of high school to form an alternative school with friends.[3] After attending SEED Alternative School and the Lycee Francais Charles de Gaulle in London, she studied physics at the University of Toronto and graduated in 1977.[3] In the summer of 1977, while Melissa Franklin was a student at CERN, she was part of a legendary bar-room bet with John Ellis which in part led to the naming of Penguin diagrams.[4] CareerFranklin earned her physics PhD from Stanford University in 1982 with a thesis titled "Selected studies of charmonium decay" under the supervision of Gary Feldman, working with the school's linear accelerator, SLAC.[5][6] She did postdoctoral work at the University of California at Berkeley in the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. In 1988 she became an assistant professor at the University of Illinois, and worked at Fermilab in Chicago. In 1987 she joined Harvard University, later becoming the physics department's first tenured woman professor. For over a decade, Franklin traveled between Boston and Chicago every few weeks, to check on and fix equipment at Fermilab. In 1995, her team proved the existence of the top quark.[7] At Harvard, Franklin co-directs the Laboratory for Particle Physics and Cosmology (LPPC), alongside Gary Feldman, John Huth, Masahiro Morii and Christopher Stubbs. The LPPC studies topics on the Energy Frontier, the Intensity Frontier and the Cosmic Frontier.[8] Since the 1990s, Franklin has been a frequent guest on the CBC Radio science program Quirks and Quarks.[9] Franklin has also been a frequent lecturer and "dramatic read[er]" in the annual Ig Noble Prize Ceremonies and other events of the Annals of Improbable Research.[10][11][12] References1. ^ {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100626070850/http://www.registrar.fas.harvard.edu/Courses/Physics.html |date=June 26, 2010 }} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.ca/books?id=6QmQvocn4IYC&pg=PA424&lpg=PA424&dq=%22stephen+franklin%22+melissa+elsa&source=bl&ots=J-zLdrZZBd&sig=f_g4onkUo9UHI-Tp1qkAxbxR1xU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj13dadvIvQAhXK24MKHeYzBK4Q6AEIGzAA#v=onepage&q=%22stephen+franklin%22+melissa+elsa&f=false|title=Pierre Berton: A Biography|first=Brian|last=Mckillop|date=22 June 2011|publisher=McClelland & Stewart|via=Google Books}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|last=Yount|first=Lisa|title=A to Z of women in science and math|year=1999|publisher=Facts on File|location=New York, NY|isbn=0-8160-3797-3}}{{unreliable source?|date=May 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web| url=https://dorigo.wordpress.com/2006/06/20/melissa-franklin-and-penguin-diagrams/| publisher=Quantum Diaries Survivor| title=Melissa Franklin and penguin diagrams| date=2006-02-20| accessdate=2019-02-20}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.slac.stanford.edu/cgi-wrap/getdoc/slac-r-254.pdf |title=Selected Studies of Charmonium Decays |last=Franklin |first=Melissa Eve Bronwen |date=1982 |access-date=2018-05-21 |publisher=Stanford University |website=SLAC}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.physics.harvard.edu/uploads/files/faculty/CV_Franklin.pdf |title=Biographical Sketch of Melissa Franklin |access-date=2018-05-21 |website=Department of Physics |publisher=Harvard University}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://physics.uchicago.edu/franklin |title=Biography: Melissa Franklin |website=Department of Physics |publisher=University of Chicago |access-date=2018-05-21}} 8. ^{{Cite web|url=https://lppc.physics.harvard.edu/|title=Laboratory for Particle Physics and Cosmology (LPPC)|website=lppc.physics.harvard.edu|language=en|access-date=2018-03-02}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://archive.org/details/harbinger328251997541998unse|title=Harbinger|publisher=William Rainey Harper College.|via=Internet Archive}} 10. ^{{cite web| url=https://www.improbable.com/ig/24-7/| publisher=Improbable Research| title=Improbable Research: The 24/7 Lectures| date=2017| accessdate=2019-02-20}} 11. ^{{cite web| url=https://www.improbable.com/2014/page/44/| publisher=Improbable Research| author=Abrahams, Marc| title=What happened at the book launch of Too [video]| date=2014-09-19| accessdate=2019-02-20}} 12. ^{{cite web| url=https://www.improbable.com/2015/04/22/podcast-8-the-scientists-who-taste-tested-tadpoles/| publisher=Improbable Research| title=Podcast #8: The scientists who taste-tested tadpoles| date=2015-04-22| accessdate=2019-02-20}} External links
