“I grew up in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where my dad was a physicist. I first learned about learned about Yerkes Observatory because of him. I was immersed in science at an early age, including being surrounded by books from the likes of Carl Sagan. Decades later, having the opportunity to help preserve this remarkable institution for future generations—including my own children—is a profound honor.”
