"Ninety percent of what you’re going to do in science is not going to work. To be successful, you have to be able to forgive yourself for all the mistakes you're going to make, and want to get up and do it again the next day. Am I going to learn something no matter whether it fails or works? I love those experiments. No matter what, unless you drop it on the floor, you’re going to learn something.” Photo by B. D.

Amy Wagers - focusing on stem cell biologyTwenty minutes after her weekly lab meeting is scheduled to begin, Amy Wagers rushes into a conference room on the fourth floor of the Joslin Diabetes Center, where her lab team sits, chatting around a long oval table. “Sorry I’m late,” she calls out, closing the door behind her. “Oh good, the food’s here!" Grabbing half a sandwich and a pickle off a catered tray, she simultaneously grabs a seat and motions for her team to begin its presentations. Lights out. In the darkened room, all eyes turn to the illuminated white screen. There, in all its monochromic splendor, glows an enlarged image of a blood-forming hematopoietic stem cell. |
