Abstract
[...]my mother was very proud that I was the first person on either side of the family to become a physician and when my younger sister announced that she wanted to go to medical school, my mother did not say “girls don’t do that”! [...]my mother became angry when other women complained that their sons were not accepted into medical school because girls were taking their places. At their encouragement, I applied and was accepted as an EIS officer in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Respiratory and Special Pathogens Division. Because the nationwide outbreak of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) began as I arrived at CDC, I was quickly immersed in interviewing cases and controls to identify risk factors for TSS. [...]my first federal grant was a VA Merit Review on this topic.
