I greatly value the diversity in people and disciplines we can find on our beautiful campus.What are your major accomplishments?My greatest accomplishments include becoming an independent investigator with continuous extramural funding support and publishing in peer-reviewed publications, but, most of all, becoming part of that still small group of women in science.
