Sumario:To be the recipient of the E. E. Just Award for 2014 is one of my greatest honors, as this is a truly rarefied group.

Rather, I had help from many and have tried to pay it forward. Finally, as the country marches toward a minority majority, I echo the comments of previous E. E. Just Award recipients on the state of underrepresented minorities in science.
