She becameContinue reading “Farewell”

I found this flyer on the wall of Harvard Medical Library restroom.   In the early years of personal meeting with my boss, she told me that I have to be “comfortable about being uncomfortable” to survive in Harvard.    

I gave a lecture about my works and career in Harvard Chan. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet enthusiastic students. They paid much attention to my talk and asked excellent questions. As all of the audiences were women, we could talk about “Strategies how to survive as a women scholar in Academia.” Thanks forContinue reading “Harvard Chan Korean Student Group Lecture”
