Dearest Michele,
Huge congratulations! I am so happy for you and very excited about all the great things your professorship at Stanford will bring! You have been a role model to me, an inspiring force from the start of my PhD. I have always been looking up to you and feel blessed for our collaboration. I have met several prolific scholars, but you are unique in many ways: extremely successful, yet approachable and friendly; super busy with all kinds of projects, yet full of energy and always responsive; excited about many different ideas, yet a deep thinker and devoted. I sent you a memory/photo from my PhD defense--a day that became very special thanks to your presence. I am looking forward to working more with you, meeting you f-t-f again, and sharing fun moments with you!
Much love, Eftychia
