Haraway has been described as a “feminist, rather loosely a neo-Marxist and a postmodernist” (Young, 172). Haraway earned a degree in zoology and philosophy at the Colorado College and received the Boettcher Foundation scholarship. She lived in Paris for a year, studying philosophies of evolution on a Fulbright scholarship before completing her Ph. D. in the Department of Biology at Yale in 1972. She wrote her dissertation on the functions of metaphor in shaping research in developmental biology in the twentieth century.
Haraway has taught Women’s Studies and the History of Science at the University of Hawaii and Johns Hopkins University. In September 2000, Haraway was awarded the highest honor given by the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S), the J. D. Bernal Award, for lifetime contributions to the field. Haraway has also lectured in feminist theory and techno-science at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland.[1] Haraway is a leading thinker about people’s love and hate relationship with machines. Her ideas have sparked an explosion of debate in areas as diverse as primatology, philosophy, and developmental biology (Kunzru, 1).

Nathan served as Public Relations Director for the Bronx Museum of the Arts from 1977 to 1980, and in 1979 and 1980, she produced two public art murals in the Bronx in collaboration with Puerto Rican Artists Nitza Tufino and Rafael Colon Morales.

For more than a decade, Nathan traveled as an artist in residence to colleges and universities throughout the US and Europe, including: Virginia Commonwealth University, Maryland Institute – College of Art, Kansas City Art Institute, Princeton University and the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava, Slovakia. From 1993 to 1997, she served as Public Art Administrator for the City of Richmond in Virginia, and she is currently a peer panelist for the US General Services Administration – Art in Architecture Program. She has won several prestigious fellowships and awards, including a 1995 individual Support Grant from the Adolph and Ester Gottlieb Foundation and a 1987 Virginia Museum Professional fellowship. In the summer of 2002, she was a Fellow in the prestigious Museum Management Institute Program of The Getty Museum.

Nathan is included in numerous public and private collections, including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the New Orleans Museum of Art. She was included in the 1998 New Orleans Museum of Art Triennial of Contemporary American Art, and in 2000, she completed two public art commissions for the City of Richmond, VA. In 2001, she was appointed to the Board of Directors of The Bronx River Alliance, a consortium of organizations with interest in preserving the ecological life of the Bronx River and instilling stewardship responsibilities in community residents.

Along with others, such as his late Harvard colleague, Stephen Jay Gould, Lewontin has been a persistent critic of the type of genetic determinism espoused by some neo-Darwinists such as Richard Dawkins. In his writings he calls for what he considers a more nuanced view of evolution, which he claims requires a more careful understanding of the context of the whole organism as well as the environment. Such concerns about what he views as the oversimplification of genetics led Lewontin to be a frequent commentator in debates, and he has lectured widely to promote his views on evolutionary biology and science. In books such as Not in our Genes (co-authored with Steven Rose and Leon J. Kamin) and numerous articles, Lewontin has questioned much of the claimed heritability of human behavioral traits such as intelligence as measured by the IQ test, promoted by books such as The Bell Curve.
