I was fortunate to be born at a time when women were beginning to be accepted in science.

The greatest challenge in science is to make the complex simple.

Never give up on your dreams.

Science is a journey, not a destination.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

I always believed that if you worked hard enough, you would succeed.

The beauty of science is that it allows us to understand the world around us.

Don't be afraid to challenge the status quo.

The most important quality for a scientist is curiosity.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

I never let anyone tell me I couldn't do something because I was a woman.

Science is a collaborative effort.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

I was always driven by a desire to understand how things work.

The greatest discoveries are often made by accident.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.

I never sought fame or fortune. I just wanted to do good science.

The pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong endeavor.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

I was always fascinated by the human body and how it functions.
