Abstract
What is the secret to success in science or anything else? Hard work alone is not enough. It is being passionate about something, enough to make a whole-hearted commitment of creativity, rigor, and determination. Let me share my lifelong passions. Foremost, I am passionate about investigating viruses and finding ways to control their growth. Along the way, I have also developed other passions: using science to build international bridges, improving science education, and maximizing access to science for diverse populations, especially women and minorities. I have sometimes wondered why these three issues have attracted me. Perhaps it is because social justice, fairness, and access to opportunities were the ideals that caused my family to make the United States our home. I have embraced my passions, and they have richly rewarded me.
