Asimov's first short story to be sold, 'Marooned Off Vesta,' was published in Amazing Stories in 1938. Yet even with his impeccable academic credentials, writing for general readers was to be the professor's passion. He eventually became a professor at the university by the late 1970s, though by that time he'd given up full-time teaching to do occasional lectures. In 1949, Asimov began a stint at Boston University School of Medicine, where he was hired as an associate professor of biochemistry in 1955. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in 1939 and went on to get his M.A. Isaac Asimov was fond of learning at a young age, having taught himself to read by the age of 5 he learned Yiddish soon after, and graduated from high school at 15 to enter Columbia University. Judah owned a series of candy shops and called upon his son to work in the stores as a youngster. (Around this time, the family name was changed to Asimov.) The family immigrated to the United States when Asimov was a toddler, settling into the East New York section of Brooklyn. Isaac Asimov was born Isaak Yudovick Ozimov on January 2, 1920, in Petrovichi, Russia, to Anna Rachel Berman and Judah Ozimov. An immensely prolific author who penned nearly 500 books, he published influential sci-fi works like I, Robot and the Foundation trilogy, as well as books in a variety of other genres. He published his first novel, Pebble in the Sky, in 1950. Isaac Asimov immigrated with his family from Russia to the United States and became a biochemistry professor while pursuing writing.
