Marlene

M. Castle. Whitehead Institute. Cambridge, MA 2013 Jan 21

Meet Marlene. She's the director behind the curtain, the one who keeps the lab running smoothly without ever recognizing that she's sometimes without recognition.

And she's the type of person who will re-inspire you with her booming laughter when you find yourself still working in the lab late into the night. The type to tell you to turn up the music and to embarass you by trying to make you dance, P1000 still in your hand. The type who will give you her watch when all you asked for was the time.

And of all the people I've met so far since moving to the East Coast, above some of the most successful professors and superhumanly genius students I've ever come across, Marlene manages to win my highest respect. Every single time.
