This has been one hell of a year, and Berlin was different!: Some Final Thoughts on the 10th Anniversary of the #FemGeniusesinBerlin
This has been one hell of a year. Early last fall, I was preparing to pursue a promotion to Full Professor, which the Dean of Faculty recommended last month and the Board of Trustees approved this past Friday. Throughout the fall and early this spring, I was working to submit the first draft of my…
