Thank You Research Gala 2004

Vision is the art of seeing things invisible.
- Jonathan Swift

"Thank You Research" Gala 2004 was a celebration an exceptional group of scientists - women who have profoundly changed our world and significantly improved the quality of our lives. Just as gifted musicians and artists, grounded in solid theory and historical experience, have a vision of unseen worlds, so, too, have our honorees seen the invisible connections that are fundamental to the development of new insights and important discoveries. It is because of their vision - and their unique accomplishments - that we gathered to pay homage to twelve Outstanding New Jersey Women In Research.
