- Been

- Nov 07, 2020
I've always been treated as an equal.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was very good at math and physics. And that’s all. I can’t do music, art, so there was not a lot of choice for me. I think people should go with their strength and that was my strength.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was a very shy kid and both my best friend and my sister went to Waterloo, and I just thought no I can’t, I can’t go there because I’ll just hang on to them and no one will even know who the heck I am and that’s no way to go through life.
- Physics

- Nov 07, 2020
McMaster had an engineering physics program and... one of the parts of it was lasers and electro-optics and I just said, 'Now doesn’t that sound cool. I just got to do that.'
- Happy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I’ve now been encouraged by many people to apply and so I did apply and I have now been made, full professor. I’m happy about that.
- Keep Going
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If somebody else thinks something that you don't believe in, just think they're wrong and you're right and keep going. That's pretty much the way I always think.
- Men
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I feel that women should start to get to be recognized more because for some reason not all men want to recognize us or not all people, but I think that's a minority. I think the majority of people are ready.
- Opportunity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We must give scientists the opportunity through funding and time to pursue curiosity-based, long-term, basic-science research.
- Most

We proved that we could increase laser intensity by orders of magnitude. In fact, CPA led to the most intense laser pulses ever recorded. Our findings changed the world's understanding of how atoms interact with high-intensity light.
- Damages
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Because the high-intensity pulses are short, the laser only damages the area where it's applied. The result is precise, clean cuts that are ideal for transparent materials.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It is understandable that people want to know how it affects them. But as a scientist, I would hope society would be equally interested in fundamental science.
- Gate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My PhD was not fast out of the gate.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There’s no point in me being something other than me.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We read to our kids at bedtime because we want to have literacy, but what are we doing to make sure kids are equally fascinated by science?
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I mean I certainly tell the Maria Goeppert-Mayer story and I’m happy that life isn’t like that. I’m glad there were trailblazers like her and Marie Curie.
- Light
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My PhD project was actually doing something that required a high-intensity laser. It was supposed to work in a way that many, many photons of light would interact with an atom all at the same time.
- Focal Point
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What the ultrafast laser does is that because it doesn’t have to just cut from the surface, it’s only at the intense focal point that it does this damage where the electrons come off the atoms, you could actually put your laser and scan it over your cornea and it would cut underneath that.
- Enough
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I mean, so hopefully soon there’s enough women and enough people of colour and enough of every group out there that feels that they get the recognition they deserve, and then we don’t have to talk about it anymore.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Obviously, over the history of certainly the last 300 years, it was that men went out and worked, and women stayed home. Yes okay, that’s the way it was. But certainly it isn’t that women weren’t able to do it.
- Know

- Nov 07, 2020
Maria Goeppert-Mayer, you know, she didn’t even get paid to be a scientist. And yet, she was doing Nobel Prize-winning work. How ridiculous is that?
- Happy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Sometimes you just have to be happy you get one chance in life and not worry too much about whether you get two.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think for a long time we were just 10 percent women in physics, and so obviously people can see things in the way they’ve always been seen.
- Grad
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was a first-year in grad school, there were 18 of us in the Ph.D. program, and four of us were women.
- Know

- Nov 07, 2020
In high school, I was very good in math and physics. I wasn’t good at much of anything else. Some people are good at a lot of things. I don’t know how they choose what to do.
- Little

- Nov 07, 2020
I hadn't looked at all the Nobel Prizes and thought, my goodness, there's no women. So it was a little bit surprising to me.
- Like

- Nov 07, 2020
I feel unbelievably honored to be, you know, with Marie Curie and Goeppert Mayer. It's like, how can I be in the same breath as those three?
