Michele J. Gelfand

My favorite memories of Michele are the times we celebrated milestones and accomplishments together as a lab. We would come together over drinks at the Cosmos club, meals at delightful restaurants, or for festive parties in Michele’s home. Of all our wonderful gatherings, my favorite was when we celebrated Michele and her coauthors’ publication in Science. I remember the strong sense of community as we toasted to this amazing accomplishment together. Beyond her significant contributions to research and science, I think these experiences capture what sets Michele apart - as a mentor, teacher, and guide, she has created an interconnected family of scholars and practitioners who support and celebrate one another.
