Winning the American Society for Cell Biology’s Women in Cell Biology Mid-career Award is incredibly meaningful to me, as it validates that someone focusing on engineering and applications can be a “real” cell biologist, too. Single-minded devotion to studying a particular biological process is not a prerequisite for a career in science and academia. The more diverse the scientific styles and demographics of scientists who feel welcome, the stronger science will be.

精心设计的进入细胞生物学和学术界的途径

赢得美国细胞生物学协会的“细胞生物学女性职业中期奖”对我来说意义非凡，因为它证明了专注于工程和应用的人也可以成为“真正的”细胞生物学家。专心致志地研究特定的生物学过程并不是从事科学和学术界工作的前提。受到欢迎的科学家的科学风格和人口统计越多样化，科学就越强大。
