note = "Funding Information: Frances entered university at Cornell around 1953, majoring in biology, and progressed to entomology for her master{\textquoteright}s degree in 1958. Though she always had a love for animals, she became specifically interested in insects after learning about the elaborate egg-laying behaviors of cockroaches. Her advisor, Thomas Eisner, convinced her to take a qualifying exam and get her Ph.D. because her master{\textquoteright}s project was so ambitious. Of cockroaches, she would say to her family, “Nice little bugs, but not in the house!” She was, after all, human. She got her Ph.D. in 1962 and continued to conduct research until 1965. She was supported by an NIH grant.",
