You mean I should ask her why she's taking advanced stats classes in her male-dominated PhD program? Clearly she saw the opportunity and took it instead of complaining. I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up being very successful. She's doing more than most people (men or women). Also, thanks for reminding me why I like her.
