Article that appeared in Union Tribune today....they left out an important question/answer....so I am posting it here as a thread.
Question: You’ve received numerous awards and honors during your career, most recently becoming the first woman at UC San Diego elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2019. What does this mean to you?
Answer: Of course, it is a tremendous honor to have my accomplishments acknowledged by my colleagues and peers. These awards are a testament to the quality of the students, staff, postdocs, and colleagues I have been privileged to work with over the years.
With such recognition comes the responsibility to continue serving as a role model and carving a less arduous path for the next generation of female leaders pursuing careers in STEM.
Also, the picture I am holding is a piece of a collection of artwork developed by @NHillgarth to help tell the science story from NSF Center for Aerosol Impacts on Chemistry of the Environment. @NSF @UCSanDiego @UCSDnews @Scripps_Ocean @UCSDPhySci @CAICECCI
