A black and white photo of Marie Maynard Daly. It shows her from the shoulders up, wearing a white lab coat with a striped top underneath. She is in a lab; there are white tile walls, glass cabinets, and some lab equipment in the background. She is looking slightly downward, probably at something she is holding in her hands.
