Justine is just a hair older than me, and started at an older age than me, but her story is similar to mine going to grad school in the last few years. I don’t regret going to grad school, and hope I can get to do my PhD eventually (time and money are preventing it right now). But it’s so fantastic to read about someone who is part of my generation who rediscovered a way to get involved with a STEM-related career at a later age. Just proves you are never too old to learn! I love this story because I can relate to it so well. Read it! It’s really good.
