Just went to the AACR 2008 in San Diego. At first i wasn't planning at all to attend this mtg, was hoping to go to my first ISCR in July but since I know I am leaving, I know I can't make it. But it was such a great surprise for me, first being shocked with so much advance on cancer stem cell field and then meeting this outstanding lady.
I do admit although I am in Omaha this year, I really get to know and experience a lot of inspiring people and moments. That's why I am starting to miss it already.......
Mina Bissell, an absolutely stunning and energetic female scientist with extraordinarily passionate attitude towards science and knowledge, she just moved you around in her talks and conversations.
She is a model for being bold, standing up to what you believe and not being intimidated to fight for what you believe it is right. The brave in her is just what I hope I could develop.....
She is one of the selected remarkable female scientist in this year's Chroma calendar, which you can download here: http://www.chroma.com/wis/
It's so fulfilling and inspiring to read her story, I am sure when you are feeling you got stucked, esp those of us being frustrated in science, you will be enlightened with hope by reading the path she took. Enjoy it! http://www.lbl.gov/lifesciences/BissellLab/minapersonal/incyte.htm
