During this period, she continued doing her own work and reaching her own findings. Beginning in the late 1950s, she went to Central and South America to study different kinds of maize plants. She examined the development of agricultural maize by native peoples. She also assisted younger scientists and students in genetics. Her work at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory was recognized in 1970. She was given the American government's highest science award – the National Medal of Science.多年以来,很多科学家对她的发现置之不理。在这段时期,她依然坚持自己的工作,并获得新的发现。在20世纪50年代晚期,她去往美国中部和南部去观察不同种类的玉米作物。她检查了本地民族种植的玉米的生长情况。她同时协助年轻的基因科学家和学生。在1970年,她于冷泉港实验室的工作得到承认,并被授予了美国政府最高的科学奖-美国国家科学奖章。
