Personal life

Bertozzi grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, the daughter of the late Norma Gloria (Berringer) and William Bertozzi.WEB,www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/bostonglobe/name/norma-bertozzi-obituary?id=30733422, NORMA GLORIA BERTOZZI Obituary (2021) Boston Globe, Legacy.com, Her father was of Italian descent.WEB,lavocedinewyork.com/en/news/2022/10/05/italian-american-scientist-carolyn-bertozzi-wins-the-nobel-prize-in-chemistry, Italian American Scientist Carolyn Bertozzi Wins the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, October 5, 2022, Her maternal grandparents were from Nova Scotia, Canada.WEB,digital.sciencehistory.org/works/3xomins, Oral history interview with Carolyn R. Bertozzi, She has two sisters, one of whom, Andrea Bertozzi, is on the mathematics faculty at the University of California, Los Angeles.WEB,www.math.ucla.edu/~bertozzi/, UCLA Math Department Faculty, June 4, 2012, Her father was a physics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.WEB,web.mit.edu/physics/people/faculty/bertozzi_william.html, MIT Physics Department Faculty, June 4, 2012, Bertozzi and her two sisters grew up around science. Because their father was a physics professor, when asked what she and her sisters wanted to be when they grew up, the answer was unanimous: a nuclear physicist. The three girls would attend MIT camps, as their father dreamt that they would attend MIT due to a “mixture of pride and the promise of free tuition.” To William’s dismay, Carolyn attended Harvard instead because the school offered strengths outside of just science.Bertozzi briefly considered a career in music. In high school, she won several awards for music compositions and musical accomplishments. Her talent on the keyboard earned her offers as a music major from several university rock bands, but she felt that she was “always centered on the sciences”. Bertozzi is a lesbian and has been out since the late 1980s.JOURNAL, Navals, Pauline, April 5, 2022, ONE ON ONE WITH CAROLYN BERTOZZI, Chemical & Engineering News, en,cen.acs.org/biological-chemistry/One-on-one-with-Carolyn-Bertozzi/100/i12,
