2013 Ph.D., Mathematics
"Mathematics teaches you the purest form of problem solving. Learning mathematics, specifically probability, gave me the tools and tenacity to approach problems in other fields. Though I work in biotech and rarely do pen-and-paper mathematics anymore, mathematical thinking still influences how I approach questions in human genetics and viral surveillance."
"Mastery of graduate level mathematics is a rare skill. If you're open-minded and willing to learn other subjects to apply your mathematical thinking, there is almost no limit to the interesting problems you can work on."
