They are the people that really do the science. I talk about the science. I talk about the direction. I guide the science. But ultimately, they are the heroes. They are the ones that are doing the studies. They are the ones that spend the time to actually get them working. So that's why I talk in the plural. We have a big team. How heroic are they? [laughs] I think they're very heroic. They work very hard to achieve their goals. They put in extra hours without me even asking them. They also work very hard to achieve some of these goals that I set ultimately. But they are the ones trying to achieve them. Would I be very far from the truth if I said that they share your passion? I would believe they do. Definitely, they do share the passion. What is your passion? [laughs] I don't think about it as a passion, but I have a goal in life that drives my passion. So, I was always trained as an engineer, which means I have a background in mathematics. A little dry, if you want. And as I was navigating this world, I figured biology and medicine are very fascinating, right? But it's very far away from math and engineering, which is very systematic. You have a mold, you have a pattern, you follow it. You're good at it. So, coming into this world as a scientist, I figured the more I started to dive into science, the more I realized that my skill could be useful in the medical space. As I started figuring out what I wanted to do as a scientist, one of the things that I realized I wanted to do was save a life. So, my goal in life is to use my science to really save a life. Now, of course, that's a big lofty goal. We don't really, even if we do AI for cancer detection, we don't really save a life. We extend life. So it's a little bit more complicated there. But I think that's what drives my life. I really want to have a clinical application with the skills and knowledge that I'm very good at and then actually apply them to a space where I hope to be able to actually help patient care. All lives can only be extended. Right, exactly. I give you 24 additional hours of free time daily. What will you do? If I don't have to work at all? Free to do what you want! You probably would use 23 to work more. [both laugh] No, actually, probably not. I definitely enjoy stepping a little bit 28 DAILY MICCAI Tuesday Women in Science
