My post
Beautiful People,
My Monday hero is Alice Y. Ting, a Taiwanese-born American chemist. Her family immigrated to the United States when she was three years old.
She attended the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science (TAMS). In 1996, she received her Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Harvard University, working with Nobel laureate E.J. Corey. She completed her Ph.D. from University of California, Berkeley in 2000. She concluded her postdoctoral fellowship with 2008 Nobel Laureate Roger Y. Tsien.
From 2002 until 2016, she was a professor in the department of chemistry at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and her lab researches and develops technologies to study the molecular properties of living cells. Recently, she relocated to Stanford University.
Ting has received a number of awards, including a 2008 NIH Director's Pioneer Award, a 2010 Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award from the American Chemical Society, an NIH Transformative R01 Award, the McKnight Technological Innovations in Neuroscience Award, the Technology Review TR35 Award, the Sloan Foundation Research Fellowship, the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award, and the Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise in Biomedical Science in 2012.
The presence of women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields is critical not only for attaining gender equality, but also for diversity, which is a key for growth and innovation. Alice Y. Ting proves that women in STEM are essential contributors to our society and industry.
She acknowledges the enormous impact of immigrants on advanced research and breakthrough innovations. She doesn't forget where she came from and she knows where she’s going and who should be joining her journey of discovery. Listen to her motivating acceptance speech.
Alice Y. Ting, you are such an inspiration to me!
XO,
Sharon
