Opportunities, Technology, and the Joy of Discovery

Abstract

My grandparents were immigrants. My paternal grandfather was illiterate. Yet my parents were able to complete college and to become teachers. I had a conventional upbringing in a small town in Florida, graduating from high school in 1960. I was fortunate enough to graduate cum laude from Florida State University and to earn other credentials leading to faculty positions at outstanding institutions of higher education: the University of Chicago and Northwestern University. At a time when women were rarely the leaders of research groups, I was able to establish a well-funded research program and to make contributions to our understanding of viral entry into cells. My best research was done after I became confident enough to seek productive interactions with collaborators. I am grateful for the collaborators and collaborations that moved our field forward and for my trainees who have gone on to successes in many different careers.
