Quote:
“To be chosen as recipient of the 2010 TMS Leadership award is a special honor to me. It provides recognition from a very prestigious professional society that my science leadership has been judged by my peers to be of high quality. It is especially gratifying to know that this award basically emanates from those with whom I have worked closely, both within my own organization as well as within the larger scientific community through professional activities and duties. To be appreciated and valued by those I have worked for many years, and by the members of TMS, is indeed a very high and humbling honor.”
