Lorna Role was a very talented Harvard graduate, who did very well in my lab working on neurons synapses, intraneuronal synapses and then went back to Columbia as a faculty member and then out to Long Island, where she really thrived. She took my advice and left Stony Brook and went to the NIH, where she became the director of intramural research. My strong, strong recommendation, that she's really a leader and the entire institute responded to her enthusiasm, and I think she's still going strong there.
