Bedankt Jane, om mijn grote voorbeeld te zijn, en mijn biologiecarrière mee vorm te geven. Je bent de sterkste en meest inspirerende vrouw die ik ken. Je volgende quote is de rode draad in mijn leven: “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make” ❤️
