So I decided on science when I was in college.

If it wasn't for the women's movement, I wouldn't be where I am today.

It's too bad our society isn't further along.

I suggest taking the high road and have a little sence of humour and let things roll off your back. I think that's very important.

There are lots of opportunities out there for women to work in these fields, ... Girls just need support, encouragement and mentoring to follow through with the sciences.

The view of earth is spectacular from space. Most people imagine that when astronauts look out the window of the shuttle they see the whole earth like that big blue marble that was made famous by the flights that went to the moon. But the shuttle is much, much closer than those astronauts were. So we don't see the whole planet, the whole ball at once, we just see parts of it.

I've spent my whole life not talking to people, and I don't see why I should start now.
