While it might be tempting to describe Dr. Peggy Fong as someone who can "do it all", she will be quick to correct you.
Instead, she wants to be sure that everyone is aware that what she is able to do - to be a successful and productive
researcher, educator, parent and family member - is only possible by having what she describes as her incredible support
structure. Colleagues, students and family members have all pitched in with support.
Both her graduate and undergraduate students go out and do cutting edge research on their own, resulting (among other
things) in a growing list of publications on Peggy's CV. "It’s definitely a synergistic, symbiotic relationship," says
Peggy. And both her colleagues and her family members have been flexible enough to make her trips to field sites possible
and productive. "There's a lot of mutual respect within the whole lab," she says.
