title: A sustained passion for intracellular trafficking.
abstract: I am honored to be the first recipient of the Women in Cell Biology Sustained Excellence in Research Award. Since my graduate school days, I have enjoyed being part of a stimulating scientific community the American Society for Cell Biology embodies. Having found myself largely by accident in a career that I find deeply enjoyable and fulfilling, I hope here to convey a sense that one need not have a "grand plan" to have a successful life in science. Simply following one's interests and passions can sustain a career, even though it may involve some migration.
