Florence Elizabeth Meier Chase (1902 - May 6, 1978) was an American botanist who researched the interaction of sunlight and algae at the Smithsonian. She was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and an honorary member of the Washington Botanical Society. She was married to Dr. William Wiley Chase and also assisted in his publication of articles on scientific and medical topics.[1]

Life

Chase was born in Springfield, Illinois.[1] Chase received her B.A. from Wellesley College and her Ph.D. from the University of Geneva in Switzerland.[2] She was a research assistant at the botany department at Columbia University before moving to Washington, D.C.[1]

In Washington, she worked for the Smithsonian Institution at the Radiation Biology Laboratory (RBL), part of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, where she studied photosynthesis and its relationship to fluorescence.[2] In her work on "Useful Algae" she also explored the use of macroscopic marine algae as food sources.[3] She contributed to the Smithsonian's collections, donating plants from Spain.[4] She died in Manahawkin, New Jersey in 1978 at the age of 75.[1]

Injury

While showing the visitors around in the Smithsonian Castle on February 14, 1937, Dr. Meier stepped back, and forgetting that the trap door was open behind her, fell down through it to the floor below, and broke her back. She was taken to Washington's Garfield Memorial Hospital. At the hospital, she would be cared for by Dr. William Wiley Chase, the head of the surgery department. This was their first meeting, and they eventually married.[2]
