Kate Parisian

Kate Pariser (born March 17, 1893 in Berlin , † August 2, 1953 in Sydney ) was a zoologist and chemist specializing in genetics and developmental physiology .

Käte Pariser came from a Jewish entrepreneurial family. After graduating from high school in Berlin in 1911, she studied zoology and chemistry in Berlin and Frankfurt am Main; she completed her studies in 1919 with a doctorate. From 1924 Käte worked in Paris at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Biology in Berlin and did research on butterflies in Richard Goldschmidt's department . In 1933 she emigrated first to Switzerland and from there to Spain. In Madrid she carried out research, funded by the Spanish section of the International Federation of University Women , primarily on gender determination and malformations in newts.

In 1936, when the Spanish Civil War began, Kate left Pariser Madrid and went to Tel Aviv . In 1939 she went to Australia, was naturalized there and has lived in Sydney ever since. Contrary to what is officially noted in her biographical information, she “according to unconfirmed information” died in 1953, not in Sydney, but in the Federal Republic of Germany .
