Read this first ⬇️ Influence of the Scientist
Johanna works in the lab of the very successful
physicist Dr. Charlotte Wen. Dr.
Wen's mother died of breast cancer, which sparked her passion for developing
improved imaging tools to aid in the detection and treatment of various cancers.
She feels that if her mother's cancer had been detected earlier, her mother may
have survived, and so she is determined to find techniques that can find and
image even the tiniest spots of cancer.
While all of Dr. Wen's graduate students are exceptional and work hard in the
laboratory, Johanna was a physics and communications double major in college,
so she gives outstanding presentations. Because of this, she is often selected to
give talks in their department and at conferences, which has exposed her to a
variety of opportunities for collaboration, postdoctoral fellowships, and jobs
after she finishes her dissertation

What in Dr. Wen's background, talents, interest, or goals could be influencing her
observations, inferences, or explanations?
