 Jill Cornell Tarter, EHS '61, has worked on a number of major scientific projects, most relating to the search for extraterrestrial life. She definitely is "famous in her field" and you can read about her here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Tarter

Tarter's astronomical work is illustrated in Carl Sagan's novel Contact. In the film version of Contact, the protagonist Ellie Arroway is played by Jodie Foster. She has also been featured in John Boswell's Symphony of Science music video, "The Poetry of Reality (An Anthem for Science)".[7]
