Michele J. Gelfand

Here are a few of my favorite Michele memories. The West Coast is lucky to have her!
- MG always offering me a hard boiled egg when we met. Her students never went hungry!
- An incredible MURI dinner at Zaytinya. I remember eating a lot of whipped garlic. She always makes sure to celebrate students’ and collaborators’ successes and show her appreciation.
- MG opening her home to us for lovely parties with her husband, daughters, and Pepper. The desserts were especially abundant!
- MG iterating on countless drafts of my dissertation at all hours of the day and night.
- MG mentoring me, pushing me, and giving me the skills for a successful research career.
