After attending University of Michigan (A.B., 1933), Columbia University (M.A., 1934), and University of Chicago (Ph.D., 1937), she married fellow science student, William L. Russell and they moved to Mount Desert Island in 1937 to work at the Jackson Laboratory, where she eventually became the Staff Scientific Director. She is credited with helping to rebuild the laboratory's work after a destructive fire in 1947, recovering its genetically purebred mouse strains from other institutions around the world. The recipient of many honorary degrees, Shull was also recognized later in her life for work in protecting Maine's coastal wildlife refuges and meadows Cite as: Acc. 90-105 - Scienc
