In class work, it is easy to learn only what is needed for a grade. When doing research, I try to understand what I am studying completely. Another great thing about it is that I get to work one on one with professors in my field.

I'm doing a lot of child research now because of my son. I've taken him to swimming class, and I go to Mommies and Me, and... I get all the parenting magazines. I think with women who are doing it all for the first time, and are not quite my age, there's this process of discovery.

We do more research for debate team than for class. I do probably three times more research for debate than class.

I think it's a good strategy, ... Cascade has done a great job in the semiconductor research market; the opportunity now is to see if they can extend to other areas.

It's so rare, so that's why research gets so little funding. But for young people, and anyone with it, it robs them out of huge bits of their lives.

It hasn't sunk in yet. It's weird. We have big leadership responsibilities, the entire class. Sabers has been real high on this class and expects everybody to be leaders in every way.
